Our take

Following critical acclaim for her powerful debut, Eva Trobisch contemplates the hazy borders between work and home and the knotted places intimacy takes us. As a woman caught in a tangle of tenderness, Minna Wundrich gives an achingly lived-in performance that traces the delicate contours of care.
