Married filmmakers Tony (Tim Roth, also at SWIFF'22 with Sundown) and Chris (Vicky Krieps, Phantom Thread) take a summer retreat to the remote Baltic Island of Fårö that inspired their idol, Ingmar Bergman. Bergman lived and worked on Fårö for over 40 years; today it is a place of pilgrimage. Here Chris and Tony hope to find both rest and inspiration for their separate film projects in the island’s wilds, but when the mysterious rhythms of the island start to awaken long-dormant memories, the lines between dream, reality, and fiction collide.
Stunning landscapes and performances of subtle power pair perfectly in this playful, stirring ode to Bergman, and the lingering memory of love lost, from lauded Cannes-winning director Mia Hansen-Løve (Things to Come).
“A heart-stopping poignant stunner” – Indiewire
