Hoping to keep his recently fractured family together, David takes his children, Klára and Teo, on holiday to the Adriatic. There, teenage Klára, who struggles with an eating disorder, falls in love with a local boy, Denis. When Denis is accused of murder, Klára’s condition worsens, and she ends up in hospital. The desire to save her is the only thing that unites her parents, and crisis situations call for drastic measures. Olmo Omerzu’s (Family Film – ZFF 2015; Winter Flies – ZFF 2018) latest work is an intriguing drama about adolescence, parental dilemmas, and the shifting dynamics of the modern family. It premiered at the San Sebastián International Film Festival.
