Our take

Inspired by the works of Italian songwriter Franco Battiato, Giada Colagrande’s eerie film deals with a young woman’s grief following the death of her father, and her journey into a supernatural world where the dead reside. A spiritual reflection on loss starring Willem Dafoe and Marina Abramović.
