Plot
A grandmother has a passionate affair with a man half her age, who is also sleeping with her daughter.
Sinekatalog’s take
A widowed grandmother begins a passionate affair with a younger man who is also involved with her daughter. The story is bold and uncomfortable, handled with a delicate eye for loneliness. For adult viewers interested in taboo-breaking, character-focused drama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
