Astrid, a forty-something mother of two, struggles to regain her balance in the wake of her husband’s death. As new questions confront Astrid from every angle, even simple activities like buying a bicycle or engaging with a work of art, are fraught with unexpected challenges. An introverted and incredibly powerful film that conjures up associations with Michael Haneke’s more restrained work. It won Angela Schanelec a Silver Bear for best director at the Berlinale 2019 and hasn’t been screened in the Netherlands before.
