How far are parents willing to go to save their child? Tensions are simmering in a bilingual family. The parents have just separated, leaving their two children somewhat sidelined. However, during a holiday in Croatia, serious underlying issues begin to come to light. Do we truly know those closest to us, or are families full of strangers who are never completely honest with one another? Award-winning director, Olmo Omerzu (Winter Flies, 2018), has crafted another compelling exploration of human relationships. The film premiered in the Official Competition section at the San Sebastián International Film Festival.
