Our take

One woman’s state of romantic indecision answers to a boisterous chorus of family, friends, and lovers in this surreal sex comedy. Once an apprentice to auteur of melancholy Roy Andersson, German newcomer Zora Rux swaps sorrow for pleasure in the colorful pastoral tableaux of this mischievous debut.
