Synopsis

In Dorothée van den Berghe’s beautiful and touching coming-of-age story, 10-year-old Karo moves with her parents Raven and Dalia to a vibrant and carefree squatter’s commune in 1970s Amsterdam. But when Raven’s relationship with a new woman fractures their family and threatens the commune’s utopia, both Raven’s lofty ideals and Karo’s childish innocence will be challenged by the messy realities of human emotion. —Tribeca Film Festival
