Dēli

For Eva, work in prison is everything - the beginning and end of the day, shelter and determination. Inside the gray reinforced concrete walls, she meticulously cares and provides rehabilitation opportunities. When he learns that Mikel is in the highest security sector, he is unexpectedly confronted by his past. Incited by the past, her obsession with the convict takes hold. Eva advertises herself for a job in the serious crime zone, or "Center Zero". Once there, she single-handedly assumes the role of judge, while Mikel meets his greatest punishment. The secret kept by Eva threatens the safety of both of them.

A delicate thriller about the acceptance of the past and the darkest plots of revenge - in which the Swede Meller works already on the scale of the mise-en-scène. The work presented in the main competition of the Berlinale chillingly and uncompromisingly reveals the film's dramaturgical entanglement - it is "unwound" by the Danish actress Sise Babette Knudsen (the cult TV series "Government" (2010-2022)). She has created a full-blooded character whose ethical decisions stand alongside Electra and a number of other prophets of justice in ancient dramas. The work that illuminates the corridors of the psyche rhetorically: after crime and punishment, are we ready not so much to forgive, but to live alongside our perpetrators?
