Already traumatized by the death of her husband, a young mother faces another crisis when her son is placed in a correction house for vandalizing his school. Freeing him from the authorities, she runs away with the boy and his girlfriend across northern Portugal, but the police are not far behind.
Charting a flight across the inhospitable landscapes of northern Portugal, this family drama from Joaquim Sapinho possesses an evocative sense of melancholy. Echoing Terrence Malick and Theo Angelopoulos in its twilit cinematography, The Policewoman is a haunting tale of escapes and fresh starts.
