The film presents the life of sisters in four periodes of the last hundred years. The camera follows mostly one sister and the spectators see the world through her eyes. There is a tense horror mood created by the director and reinforced by a very suggestive soundtrack. The sisters and the mothers live in a patriarchical society and try to find their ways. Disturbingly often it leads to death. In my opinion the film would gain if it were not so long. Almost three hours, without a story, was a challenge. Some people left earlier but I sat it through… And still I would  recommend to watch it.  Paul

A brother and a sister drive to their parents flat in Paris. The parents died in a ...
