Everytime

An electrifying and mysterious tale of loss, reconciliation and a family holiday that almost didn’t happen. How does one come to terms with the sudden death of a young girl and the questions that linger even a year later? The girl’s mother, younger sister and her former boyfriend initially grieve separately, but later set off together for distant Tenerife, where feelings of guilt, the possibility of forgiveness and mysterious glimpses of the past all come to the fore. The best film from this year’s Cannes Film Festival in the Un Certain Regard section is driven by a quietly captivating energy, authentic emotions and breathtaking moments when the craft of filmmaking becomes sacred magic. It casts rays of light deep into the shadows of the human soul and becomes the cinematic equivalent of a sun that never sets.
