Winner of the Grand Prize of the Youth Jury in Locarno in 1983, Marcel Schüpbach’s film is a surreal and sumptuous portrait of a young woman losing her grip on reality while staying in her grandmother’s country home. Desperate to live a life of passion, she soon becomes convinced of a spiritual bond between her and her great-grandmother, who died in tragic circumstances.
