Rosebush Pruning
People are roses. Families are rosebushes. Rosebushes need pruning.
Directed by Karim Aïnouz
Produced by Kavac Film, The Match Factory
A darkly comic family drama about inherited wealth and buried secrets that uses tragicomic tension to explore how families fracture under the weight of isolation and hidden truths.
In a Spanish villa, American siblings Jack, Ed, Anna and Robert wallow in isolation and their inherited fortune. When Jack wants to move in with his girlfriend and Ed uncovers the truth about their mother’s death, the fabric of the family begins to unravel.
