What if, as a parent, you are suddenly called to your son's school because he has overstepped the boundaries of a classmate? From this complex questioning starts this Norwegian moral drama by Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel, grandson of Ingmar Bergman. What follows is a two-hour exploration of various truths, digging deep not only into an alleged school incident but also into the psyche of the over-protective mother, flawlessly portrayed by Renate Reinsve (The Worst Person in the World). A gloomy portrait that gets under your skin, and earned the Caméra d'Or, the prize for Best Debut, at Cannes.
