In a small clearing in the woods somewhere between Potsdam and Berlin, over the course of one extended night of debauchery, a band of exiled Libertines seeking support from the German Duc de Walchen (Helmut Berger) will revel in the freedom to take sexuality to its darkest places.
-----
In his latest provocation Catalan filmmaker Albert Serra (THE DEATH OF LOUIS XIV) finds a small clearing in the woods somewhere between Potsdam and Berlin where, over the course of one extended night of debauchery, a band of exiled Libertines seeking support from the German Duc de Walchen (Helmut Berger) will revel in the freedom to take sexuality to its darkest places. In the absence of imposed morality, their philosophy espouses an enlightenment that can be attained through hedonistic pursuits and unrestrained animalistic impulse. To the rhythmic drone of a chorus of cicadas, they will push sexuality to its limits in a display of depraved decadence, where the absolute end is when sex meets death.

While preparing to spend the summer at her mother-in-law’s cottage, Luisa discovers her teenage daughter Ana sleepwalking naked. In the countryside, each woman becomes alienated by repeated attempts to connect and be understood and, with surmounting feelings of entrapment, will be pushed beyond complacency in Paula Hernández’s elegant and bold debut.

While preparing to spend a reluctant summer holiday at her mother-in-law’s family cottage, Luisa (Érica Rivas) discovers her teenage daughter Ana (Ornella D'elía) sleepwalking naked outside of their apartment. Now in the countryside surrounded by extended family, tensions heighten and Luisa’s concerns for Ana linger while restrained clashes with her husband’s family cause deep-seated problems in her marriage to surface. Meanwhile, Ana attempts to negotiate disconcerting, if not unwelcome, attention from her charismatic older cousin Alejo. Each woman becomes alienated after repeated attempts to connect and be understood and, with surmounting feelings of entrapment, will be pushed beyond complacency. Elegant and contained, Argentine filmmaker Paula Hernández’s bold depiction of the inescapably gendered mother/daughter dynamic brings a remarkable depth to, what is for women, an all-too relatable low hum of despair.
