Our take

Scattered across Britain, Germany, and Greece at disparate moments between the 1980s and the present, searching souls echo a Europe in transition. In Angela Schanelec’s film of fragmentation taken to a limit, some gaps can be bridged, while others are lacunae in which to lose ourselves with wonder.
