Born in 1976, writer-director Lilja Ingolfsdottir presents her first feature-length film, a family story and
a chronicle of a divorce. While Sigmund is constantly away on business, Maria juggles childcare and running the household alongside her career. Suddenly, he announces he wants a divorce. The film is a multilayered character study of a woman. But perhaps it goes even further, showing society's inability to acknowledge or accept psychological problems. This film, which strikes a serious emotional chord, was a sensation at Karlovy Vary this year: winning five awards, it could be considered a cinematic phenomenon.
