Omschrijving
BENELUX PREMIERE
Mother Delphine (a riveting Sophie Colon) is a lawyer and father Antoine (Mathéo Capelli) is a successful novelist. Together with their adopted children – daughter Adia, 17, and son Aslan, 18 – they are spendiing an idyllic summer at their fantastic French country house before the boy starts university in New York. Covering three days, Friday-Sunday, the events of the story get underway when mom answers a phone call from a stranger who makes a very disturbing insinuation... ‘This is a film that is good to watch cold, without knowing too much,’ as one friend of the 013 CIFF put it, and she was right...
‘[The film] tackles taboo subject matter in stark and uncompromising fashion, to devastating effect… [It] takes a disturbingly objective approach by allowing the events of the film to speak for themselves and forcing us to confront our own feelings about what is being presented on the screen. Those seeking to be guided by a strong moral stance won’t find it here, but viewers in search of challenging and provocative material will be richly rewarded.’ – Jason Pirodsky, The Prague Reporter
THIS SCREENING WILL HAVE ENGLISH SUBTITLES
