When Agnes's best friend Selma decides to move out, an old emptiness resurfaces.

"You're pushing me away. I've seen it before" becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as Agnes retreats into isolation.

The only question is how she'll fill the void this time.

When a couple travels to Germany for a relaxing holiday, they arrive at an eerily empty hotel.

Free from distractions and prying eyes, restlessness begins to grow, and a performative game puts their relationship to the test.

In a limestone quarry, an unmanned excavator unearths what lies buried beneath the surface, while a group of teenagers swims in a nearby lake.

An ancient Danish myth takes on a new queer interpretation as tactile imagery reveals what a teenage girl has been keeping to herself.

When old photographs resurface after a burglary, the family's eldest son spirals into doubt.

What once seemed certain becomes questionable as memories and dreams blur into oblivion. Suddenly, his seemingly ordinary childhood – and everyone who was part of it – is called into question.

Amid olive groves and corruption in southern Italy, Matteo sends one final letter home before falling victim to a Mafia killing.

Through dizzying camerawork and haunting personal accounts, the film documents a true story of a future lost and the grief of those who were meant to share it.
