A deeply unsettling psychological drama about maternal abandonment and transgressive boundary-crossing that uses dance and family intimacy as a lens for examining trauma and violation.
Dance teacher and mother Nadja left her son Mario with her own mother when he was little. Now she has reappeared on his doorstep, seeking a closeness that knows fewer and fewer boundaries. An uncompromising film about family relationships.
