Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Claudia, a lonely young woman, works in a supermarket. One night, she ends up in the hospital with a severe case of appendicitis. There, she meets Martha, the woman resting in the bed next to hers. Martha, who lives alone with her four children, gains Claudia’s trust. When she gets out of the hospital, she spontaneously offers Claudia to go home with them. Getting to know this family makes Claudia feel at ease. And for the first time she experiences a sense of belonging in this peculiar little tribe. As Martha’s health weakens every day the bond Claudia has with each member of the family grows stronger.”

Poster: C-

Review: A generic Little Miss Sunshine throwback that builds itself on a concept that fits within the framework of the film’s narrative, but feels inorganically staged.

Trailer: C+

Review: I’m sure the brief reference to Cannes would have had more impact had it been highlighted. The trailer instead wants to focus on the familial connections of its protagonists as a way to intimate itself with a defined foreign lingo/indie viewer. It works a little, but the trailer also makes the film look a bit unfocused.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
