Drama

Alone in her empty flat, from her window Anne observes the people passing by who nervously snatch up the personal belongings and pieces of furniture she has put out on the pavement. Her final gesture of taking a ring off her finger signals she is leaving her previous life in Holland behind. She goes to Ireland, where she chooses to lead a solitary, wandering existence, striding through the austere landscapes of Connemara. During her travels, she discovers a house that is home to a hermit, Martin.

VIBE

A quiet, contemplative journey through stark landscapes and inner turmoil. It feels like a breath of cold, crisp air, focusing on the profound solitude and the search for a new self away from the world.
