Bareisa’s often startling family drama, rendered in a fragmented narrative (reminiscent of Atom Egoyan’s The Sweet Hereafter), is a powerful, affecting tale of two families whose summer holiday goes awry. Ernesta and her husband Lukas head to a lakeside country home with their son, accompanied by Ernesta’s sister, Juste, and her husband and daughter. We soon learn that both marriages are facing challenges and that this country holiday is not as idyllic as it first appears. When a sudden accident happens at the lake, their worlds changes utterly, but can they recover? Moving back and forth in time, Bareisa’s film is an intense, surprising examination of relationship, family, and how trauma is both experienced and processed. Unforgettable.
