🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a subtle psychological drama by contrasting idyllic landscapes with the characters' inner turmoil. It explores not only the theme of unfulfilled parenthood but also the fragility of human bonds under pressure.

What lingers after viewing is a profound sense of quiet desperation and the unsettling realization of how easily we project our ideals onto others. A poignant study of envy and the secrets families keep. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Ulrike Kofler
