As the strain of competing needs takes its toll, their marriage begins to unravel. Despite Maria's desperate efforts to salvage their relationship, Sigmund eventually informs her of his desire for a divorce, forcing her to confront her deepest fears. This revelation propels her into a torrent of grief, anger, and unconscious memories from her own past. Maria eventually realizes that part of the key to understanding her situation lies in her relationship with her own mother and her internal self-image.

When she meets her husband for a conversation, the pain of abandonment is no longer the same.

Guy Lodge Variety The film is predominantly a showcase for Guren, leaving nothing on the table as she carries Maria from white-hot toxic rage to desolate self-scrutiny to cathartic weeping in a foetal position. Jul 17, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International Superbly acted and sharply written, this impressive feature debut from Lilja Ingolfsdottir casts a perceptive, empathetic eye over the messy business of breaking up. Jul 17, 2024 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Writer-director Ingolfsdottir reveals a keen insight into human behavior throughout the film, which is littered with memorable moments. Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) It’s a very honest movie about how hard it is to build a life with someone, including building a life with yourself.
