Our take

This much-loved, whimsical romantic tale finds two lost souls in search of meaning and companionship on a seemingly idyllic pig farm. At once heartbreaking and sensitive, Emma’s Bliss is a life-affirming testament to the power of love and boasts superb performances by Jöris Triebel and Jürgen Vogel.
