Anna is forty years old, has three children, a husband, a job and financial stress. She is always in a rush meeting deadlines, making promises, taking care of things, bringing stuff home and remembering everything, but she never catches up with her husband—she feels she is losing him.
Keenly attuned to the daily obstacles strung across the rocky path of modern motherhood, Zsófia Szilágyi’s intimate debut is a tightly-woven character study, wrought with questions of authenticity and agency. The naturalistic cinematography belies a tornado of unceasing doubts and uncertainties.
