Overview

On the request of his mother Gitte, Marko, who has been living in Berlin for years, drives off to the countryside to visit his parents. His hopes of spending a quiet and relaxing time with his family fall short when Gitte surprises everyone by revealing that she has recovered after a long mental illness. Marko is the only one who respects her wish from now on to be treated as a full member of this family and, as a result, ends up tipping more than just the delicate balance of his parent’s seemingly harmonious relationship.

How It Feels

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

A quiet domestic drama where unspoken tensions and old family dynamics resurface when a mother's recovery forces everyone to reckon with who they've become. What begins as a visit home becomes an uncomfortable reckoning with love, loyalty, and the fragile equilibrium families depend on.
