In the wake of a traumatic incident, a young woman forms a surrogate mother-daughter relationship with her rescuer. As emotional walls come down, doubts arise: is there more to the care offered than simple kindness?
“A beguiling psychodrama about familial fractures, slippery identity, and the difficult means by which people move on from tragedy.” ~Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
“An elegant demonstration of what can be achieved with limited ingredients in the hands of an inventive creative team and a first-rate cast.” ~Wendy Ide, Screen Daily
“It’s textbook Petzold, which I mean as a major compliment. Don’t expect all of the mysteries to be uncovered. There is no big explainer moment or narratively satisfying closure, the likes of which Petzold rejects, but the enigmas that do reveal themselves yield rare treasures.” ~Luke Hicks, The Film Stage
