“The celebration of a vision Schanelec has meticulously honed over the past three decades, like a late sonata by a composer who has fully come into their voice.”
—The Hollywood Reporter

“Enigmatic in form and uncompromising in intent, a formally impressive film.”
—IndieWire

“A scintillating example of film’s uncanny ability to transcend itself, to operate on planes above, below, and in between the images and soundscapes of which it is composed.”
—Variety

Freely inspired by the story of Oedipus, Angela Schanelec returns with an “otherworldly revelation.” An abandoned newborn is taken in by a family of farmers and later sent to prison for a tragic accident where he meets Iro — the only person with whom he can connect through music. A stirring conclusion to our series The Days Between: A Brief Survey of the Berlin School.
