In French with English subtitles • It's a weekend in winter: Three siblings are reunited at their mother's deathbed after years of separation and find themselves facing their radically different understandings of the event that had driven them apart. Constance remains staunchly loyal and loving to her mother; Elise holds on to bitter memories and resentments; their brother, Xavier, believes himself to blame for events long gone. Told partly in flashbacks, the characters' disparate recollections reveal how much the shadow of a single incident has affected each of them. As they struggle with the pain of the past and the fragility of memory–replete with inaccuracies, nuances and attachments–something shifts. They are finally liberated from the history they had held onto, as the truth is revealed. Great character studies by a wonderful ensemble–Julie Depardieu (A Very Long Engagement), Marie-Josée Croze (The Barbarian Invasions) and Nicolas Rossier–make Pilar Anguita-MacKay's first feature wonderfully compelling. — Z.
