Eight-year-old Nelly has lost her granny. While her parents clear out her house, the girl decides to explore the family home and its mysterious surroundings. When Nelly’s mum suddenly drives off somewhere, opportunities arise for some wholly unforeseeable encounters... The author of the enchanting Portrait of a Lady on Fire this time seems to have got by with very little. And while this discreet gem may have missed out on an award at Berlin, for many it was simply the best film of the entire selection. Which comes as no surprise. A work so fragile that it defies adequate description, the film deftly eludes places where stories are told and conveys us to a curious yet tangible landscape. A landscape where an observant eye will take in not only all things distant, but also everything that is far removed in all other respects.
