Marian, a middle aged nurse, devotes herself to her patients like a saint, sometimes even single-handedly assisting the dying process of the gravely ill. When she gets to know a neighbor through an act of common voyeurism, she becomes fascinated by him and is faced with newfound emotions…
Draped in a cold, restrained color palette, Urszula Antoniak’s second film is a thorny study of female solitude and sexual diversions that provoked extreme reactions during its Cannes debut. Bien de Moor’s visceral performance has a Haneke-esque boldness that elicits pity and repulsion all at once.
