A quietly colossal achievement from one of contemporary cinema’s preeminent image makers. Freely inspired by the story of Oedipus, it is as terrifying as myth and as gentle as a folk song.

On a stormy night in the mountains of Greece, a pair of wayward young people abandon their newborn child. Taken in by a family of farmers, Jon grows up without knowing his father or mother. Years later, after a tragic accident, he is sent to prison, where he meets Iro. The two form a connection, expressed through music, that will, by turns, haunt them and uphold them the rest of their days. Freely inspired by the story of Oedipus, Schanelec’s latest is as terrifying as myth and as gentle as a folk song.

“An immaculate work of cinema…exquisitely shot and unimpeachably assembled.”
-Nicolas Rapold, ArtForum

“The celebration of a vision Schanelec has meticulously honed over the past three decades, like a late sonata by a composer who has fully come into their voice.” -Jordan Mintzer, The Hollywood Reporter
