Introduction

Two adult sisters navigate their emotional wounds and futures when their absentee father returns following the death of their mother. Trier tackles the journey of his characters with the gentle humour and a lived-in reality we’ve come to expect from his cinema. Featuring sumptuous technical credits and sharp scripting, Trier once again excels in conveying the profound with the lightest of touch.
