Andrea Pallaoro : 2013
An intimate portrait of a rural family's inner lives and their relationship to a harsh and shifting landscape. Ennis, a stern, hard-working dairy farmer struggles to maintain control of his family and surrounding environment, while his wife, Christina, retreats into herself, progressively disconnecting from him and their five children. As tensions increase, each character must confront their yearnings and anxieties, culminating in a dangerous conflict between control and freedom, intimacy and alienation. A journey into the unpredictable boundaries of human behaviour, exploring the desperate lengths people are driven to by love and self-preservation. Andrea Pallaoro's feature directorial debut is an observational and intimate character study of a family and their environment that rejects pre-existing structural formulas and the limitations of conventional storytelling. His award-winning film premiered at La Biennale di Venezia 2013.
