Press quotes
“An emotional and strong film, with a soft and elegant distance.”
– CINEMAN
“Minna Wündrich is the heart of the film, imbuing this rather enigmatic character with an aura of openness by gradually peeling off layer after layer of Ivo’s defences.”
– CINEUROPA
“Singular but highly engaging.”
– TÉlÉRAMA
“There’s a consistency to Trobisch’s approach that marks her as an important new voice”
– VARIETY
“With a little more courage one could have dared to include this film in the main competition, it would not have disfigured. ”
– CLOSE UP

Minna Wündrich delivers an incredibly beautiful and poetic performance.”
– ICS
“A powerful social panorama (..)
Carried by the great performance of the actress Minna Wündrich.”
– DLF KULTUR
“Trobisch’s films impress with their precise, calm observation skills and their complex female characters.”
