A Gripping New Film From the Creators Behind the Multi-Award Winning PIECES OF A WOMAN

Three interconnected stories are told in separate timelines. A few men clean up a death scene and make a very unexpected discovery. A mother and daughter with a strained relationship have a difficult meeting in a Budapest apartment. In Berlin, a teenage boy navigates the minefield that could be high school while a love for a classmate blossoms.

In the latest collaboration between screenwriter Kata Wéber and director Kornél Mundruczó, we get a triptych of stories set in different eras, all in the shadow of World War II and the Holocaust. The film's narrative depicts several generations of survivors and their ways of dealing with their heavy legacy. All presented in three powerful long takes masterfully photographed by Yorick Le Saux ( Only Lovers Left Alive , Little Women ).
