A Safe Place for the Wild

Élisa and Klara, a couple in their late twenties, quarrel in the bathtub about where to be buried. In the apartment next door lives Maryam with her seven-year-old daughter. It’s a film about tearing down a wall and making a new home, about different nations and desire. A house warming party larger than life, and life catching up on you the morning after. 


A triangle drama about the fine line between love and friendship, and about making your own family.
