Our take

Dramatizing a real-life case of familial femicide that sent shockwaves across Germany, Sherry Hormann’s tender portrait imagines the ordinary hopes and dreams that dare to bloom before tragedy cruelly strikes. A searing indictment of patriarchal intolerance that also lends a voice to the victim.
