A traumatic event – a suicide attempt – creates a rift in a family’s everyday existence. Their lives fundamentally change, as if they are waging a war invisible to everyone else.
Examining the fallout from a near-tragedy, writer-director Juraj Lerotić takes the lead role in this stunningly powerful family drama. Picking up a trio of awards at Locarno, including a prize for best first feature, Safe Place traces the contours of its emotional scars with delicacy and compassion.
