Winner of the 2023 Palme d'Or, this French mystery from filmmaker Justine Triet (Sibyl) stars Sandra Hüller (Toni Erdmann) as a mother suspected of her husband's death. The sole witness? Their blind son.
Sandra (Hüller), Samuel (Samuel Theis) and their visually impaired son Daniel (Milo Machado Graner) have been living in a remote mountain location for the past year. When Samuel is found dead outside the house, an investigation for death in suspicious circumstances is launched. Amidst the uncertainty, Sandra is indicted: was it suicide or homicide? A year later Daniel attends his mother’s trial, a veritable dissection of his parents’ relationship.
