Annabel is a successful businesswoman with a wealthy husband. At a reception in her villa she meets a woman, a member of the catering staff who has been hired for the evening. This woman is none other than her own daughter Chiara, whom she had left over thirty years ago. Chiara was just eight years old at the time. She now approaches her mother with an unusual request: to spend ten days together with her. Anabel agrees and follows her daughter to a remote house in the mountains. She begins exploring the largely uninhabited region; meanwhile Chiara initially does her own thing and seems to pursue a mysterious goal. In the end, unexpected borderline experiences bring mother and daughter closer together and Anabel finds herself having to make the most difficult decision of her life. (Berlinale)

English A lyrical poem about a daughter and a mother who have not met for many years only to finally see each other at the end of their lives. Visually beautiful, Spain has wonderful locations, but the story is something like the one in Brabec’s Máj, by which I mean non-existent. That bobsleigh scene was a total WTF moment. A hard pill to swallow. ()
