Recommended for ages 16+ Spindz wind, twisting tanned skin smell. When a wife, husband, daughter and family friend arrive at a sun-drenched seaside villa, they encounter a naked stranger with green nails. Shaking hopes of long-desired peace, the mysterious Kitty spends her days observing and provoking vacationers. The past and resentment resurface between wife Isabella, a war journalist, and husband Joe, a successful but self-destructive poet. Wanting to forget, the characters know one thing - this innocent, turquoise pool is the beginning of the circle of hell. fetishes with mirrors and water surfaces. Screened in the main competition at the Rotterdam Film Festival, British artist Anderson's debut is based on Deborah Levy's novel. Moving the action to the Greek landscape, the director dissects various - both physical and mental - conflict fronts in the history of one family. As Anderson puts it: The family ties held together by actors Mackenzie Davis (Blade Runner 2049 (2017)) and Christopher Abbott (Poor Creatures (2023)) can be undone with a single backstitch. Greek actress and dancer Ariane Lābeda (“Acu zobs” (2009)) plays the role of the Destroyer or chaos nymphet.
