An enigmatic painter (Ehle) invites a young bartender to pose for her as a strange, confusing relationship develops that will change both women forever. Beautifully written by Sarrigeorgiou (who also stars) and gorgeously shot with painterly compositions, its crisp, visual flair is matched by the strength and depth of the performances.

An elegant, subtle drama with a chilly edge, this is a restrained and emotionally intelligent exploration of selfish desires, hidden motivations and what it really takes to know yourself.
