A seemingly perfect family¡¯s life is thrown into disarray when a young stranger arrives, exposing their hidden fears, flaws, and dreams, and unraveling the deep-seated dysfunction in their relationships.
A satire that gives Pasolini's Teorema a contemporary twist, the film has drawn comparisons to Yorgos Lanthimos, Ruben Östlund, and Bong Joon-ho, and swept seven awards at the Festival of Slovenian Film. Its flawless cinematography, committed performances, and stunning production design are on full display in every meticulously composed frame.
