Synopsis
Weekending in the countryside, Laura’s life is turned upside down by a violent car crash. She survives, and though she miraculously suffers only minor physical injuries, the accident leaves her dazed and adrift. A local woman who witnessed the incident offers to take her in while she regains her bearings, tending to her with motherly dedication. Over time, the woman’s husband and son, initially skeptical of the unconventional arrangement, come to see this stranger as a member of the family. Soon, though, the ghosts of the past come calling, forcing Laura toward a reckoning.
Veteran auteur Christian Petzold (Transit, Undine) offers a filmic puzzle that plumbs the depths of human psychology and poses questions about the transitory nature of identity. Actress Paula Beer imbues Laura with an enigmatic, elusive depth, while a hauntingly beautiful score suggests that mystery and menace lurk beneath the warm glow of the sun-dappled landscapes.
