About the film
What it’s about
Holle, a therapist drawn to alternative treatments, cares for her ageing parents while her brother Sven, diagnosed with schizophrenia three decades ago, lives in the attic. When their mother is unexpectedly hospitalised, responsibility for both Sven and their father falls on Holle, pulling her deeper into a family dynamic she has long struggled to balance.
What hooks you
Jenny Schily and Ursula Werner lead the cast of Tim Ellrich's drama, which examines the weight of caregiving and the slow erosion of family bonds. The film's unflinching look at mental illness and familial duty offers a sensitive yet uncompromising portrait of a woman caught between professional calling and personal obligation.
Who it’s for
It will appeal to those who appreciate quiet, character-driven dramas that explore family tensions and the challenges of mental illness with restraint and honesty.
