Overview

The circularity of violence seen in a story that circles on itself. In Macedonia, during the war in Bosnia, Christians hunt an ethnic Albanian girl who may have murdered one of their own. A young monk who's taken a vow of silence offers her protection. In London, a photographic editor who's pregnant needs to talk it out with her estranged husband and chooses a toney restaurant.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A haunting examination of how violence ripples through lives across continents and time, told through three interconnected stories that circle back on themselves. Its formal elegance and moral weight linger long after the final frame.
