Directed by Laura Schroeder, and starring Lolita Chammah, Thémis Pauwels, and Isabelle Huppert, the story follows Catherine, who has left her daughter Alba in the care of her mother Elisabeth. When she returns after ten years abroad, Catherine wants to catch up with her daughter, but finds both Alba and Elisabeth cold and distant. One day she can’t take it anymore and “kidnaps” Alba to take her on a trip. In the exclusive scene below, you’ll see the frosty atmosphere that Catherine must try to break through.
