Panorama Special 2018

Annabel is a successful businesswoman with a wealthy husband. At a reception in her villa she meets a woman, a member of the catering staff who has been hired for the evening. This woman is none other than her own daughter Chiara, whom she had left over thirty years ago. Chiara was just eight years old at the time. She now approaches her mother with an unusual request: to spend ten days together with her. Anabel agrees and follows her daughter to a remote house in the mountains. She begins exploring the largely uninhabited region; meanwhile Chiara initially does her own thing and seems to pursue a mysterious goal. In the end, unexpected borderline experiences bring mother and daughter closer together and Anabel finds herself having to make the most difficult decision of her life.
Spanish director and writer Ramón Salazar sends his charismatic lead actors Bárbara Lennie and Susi Sánchez into an extraordinary family conflict in this film of his own script. Impressively composed pictures depict an existential trip with unexpected twists and a disturbing climax.
