A mother of three, Anna is constantly running around – from work to the nursery, to school, to ballet, to fencing class. As if this wasn’t enough, she suspects that her husband is cheating on her. Her issues are hardly unique, but she has simply no time to stop and think them through. They build up relentlessly, threatening to crush her. Carrying on takes more energy than she has left. Will she be able to save what’s fragile and unique in her life?

One day in Anna’s life. A day as long as a lifetime. The disruptive and cutting force of a woman and mother’s everyday life becomes a universal manifesto of their condition. Zsófia Szilágyi tells us about Anna’s world without feminist sensationalism or rhetoric, succeeding perfectly in her intent. She describes the strength and fragility of a woman who seems to never really change over time. She awakes awareness in women who look at her, and who would like to help her (and themselves) to get rid of an inconvenient role and being just themselves. It’s a sweet and violent denunciation, accompanied by an equally delicate and dense cinematography, which is almost a filter that veils reality. Minimalist, deep and truly authentic. Winner of the FIPRESCI award for best first feature at Critics’ Week at Cannes.
