Eine Frau auf der Schwelle zu einem neuen Lebensabschnitt in einem Film wie ein blaugrüner Seelenspiegel. Tiefgründig und wunderschön.

The night is dark blue when Lena, a 40-year-old artist, leaves Bucharest to accept a commission far from the city. The hotel that she is meant to decorate with murals stands like a block in the middle of the forest. Lena is faced with many open questions. What direction should her life take? Newly separated and without children, she escapes into her work and the nature. At the hotel, she meets the attractive director and her assistant Roni, a refugee from Syria. Very gradually, the door to a new future seems to open up for Lena.

Sarra Tsoradikis approaches her characters in long, beautifully composed shots. With subtle nuances, the narrative weaves different realities of life into a multifaceted whole. A quietly touching film of great visual power that asks us, along with its main character, what really counts in life.
