Everytime
In this acclaimed multiple festival award-winner, a tragedy brings a mother, daughter, and teenage boy together. The unlikely trio take a trip to Tenerife for a missed family holiday and, beneath the intense island sun, find themselves drawn into a strange space where past and present begin to overlap.
Sandra Wollner’s Everytime is an extraordinarily assured exploration of grief, guilt and memory, unfolding with a precision that gradually unsettles our sense of reality. Gregory Oke’s extraordinary cinematography is central to this experience: luminous, tactile images transform both Berlin and Tenerife into spaces that seem simultaneously real and strangely suspended in time.
Birgid Minichmayr (winner of Berlinale’s Best Actress award for Maren Ade’s 2009 excellent Everyone Else) is superb as Ella and Lotte Shirin Keiling is a remarkable discovery as her daughter Melli.
Winner of Cannes Film Festival's Un Certain Regard Prize at Cannes, the Sarajevo Film festival’s top award and many more, Everytime confirms Wollner as a filmmaker of remarkable formal confidence and imagination, creating something haunting, elusive and emotionally precise.
