Two brothers reunite in their childhood home to discuss the incest one of them suffered there as a child. Over the course of a single day, their conversation intertwines the most difficult questions with the boldest theories, delving into the very depths of our religious and mythological history. The camera summons a geometry between space, bodies, mise-en-scène and spoken words, turning personal stories into the liberation of a collective subconscious, away from themes and pathological exploitation. The precision and elegance of this film are astounding.
