Our take

This powerful tale of illicit love compelled audiences at the 62nd Berlinale with its bold & experimental approach to dramatic form. Interspersed animated sequences contrast the otherworldly beauty of the extraordinary hilltop setting’s natural surroundings, giving the film a striking dynamism.
