Still Life
Klusā daba
Anna Ansone
After her grandmother's passing, Elina returns to the summer house of her childhood to show it to potential buyers and deal with all that is left behind. The visceral presence of the ghost of her grandmother forces her to reflect on the legacy of failing family relations and the way her bond to her mother is starting to take a similar path. The film questions the complexity of family; the simultaneous necessity to be together and inability to communicate.
