Following the sudden, ambiguous death of young Jessie, her mother, her younger sister and a teenage boy whom everyone blames for the tragedy find themselves unexpectedly drawn together in its aftermath. Struggling with grief, unresolved blame and the fragile possibility of forgiveness, the unlikely trio embark on a Tenerife holiday that Jessie herself never got to take, lingering over old photographs and messages in an attempt to keep her memory alive, in a structurally daring psychological drama that won the top prize in Cannes' Un Certain Regard section.
Review:
An understated, formally audacious chronicle of loss that finds genuine unease in ordinary moments, confirming Sandra Wollner as one of contemporary Austrian cinema's most distinctive voices.
