Director Fien Troch in person

The disappearance of their only daughter years before has left a middle-class couple (Emmanuelle Devos and Bruno Todeschini) unable to converse. Slowly, the hermetic world of their home acquires an otherworldly aura through the accretion of odd occurrences and ambiguities. One of the rising stars of the new European cinema, Flemish director Fien Troch (b. 1978) leads a post-screening discussion. "[Her] intimate camera understands how deeply the imperceptible can resonate"—Cameron Bailey. (Fien Troch, 2008, 35 mm, French with subtitles, 97 minutes)\
