Synopsis

Wheelchair-user Rose (Fiona Shaw) and her daughter Sofia (Emma Mackey) travel to the remote Spanish town of Almería to see if private consultant Dr. Gómez (Vincent Perez) can cure Rose’s mysterious illness. When Sofia meets enticing and free-spirited traveller Ingrid (Vicky Krieps), her controlling mother makes her disapproval known, causing long-standing resentments to come to the surface that threaten to irreparably rupture their already fragile bond.
