This is the ninth film in the Stuttgart Nights Festival.
Isabelle goes to visit her parents, who live in an isolated place in the
countryside. If I counted correctly, there are only three houses clustered
together, although it's mentioned that they belong to a village that we never
see. There's no Internet. Who needs it? Isabelle is shocked to find out that
her father died three days previously. She's angry that her mother didn't tell
her. Isabelle's mother is acting strangely, and she seems to be under the
influence of the retired doctor who lives next door. The mystery slowly
unravels.
This isn't an attractive film. There are lots of realistic medical shots,
which is something I never like. The pacing is painfully slow.
At the end of the film loose ends are left open. Very
unsatisfying.
