Martha meets Alexander, and a tiny gesture is enough to rekindle her longing for her recently deceased lover, whom she now sees in Alexander. She looks ahead and sees – the past.

Nothing is quite what it seems in this riveting psychological thriller. Sandra Hüller (Toni Erdmann) is remarkable as the woman piecing together the shards of a shattered life, while director Jan Schomburg’s elliptical editing and subtle shifts in points-of-view keep the mysteries on a rolling boil.
