Synopsis

Novelist Tanja and web designer Jerome, both in their thirties, have perfected a balance of intimacy and separation in their long-distance relationship. When Tanja catches a glimpse of a settled future together, she wonders if it is really what she wants.

Our take

Filtered through texts, emails, and nocturnal phone calls, intimacy is a slippery thing in Anna Roller’s achingly precise drama, shot between Berlin and Frankfurt. Pastel hues envelope this mercurial love story, where the chic lifestyle of millennial creatives scarcely masks romantic discontent.
