A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
A young man is going through a deep dilemma between killing his brother to keep his father's inheritance or leaving him alive, so he decides to meet a lawyer in a cafe to ask him for advice. The story is intertwined with an event in his family past, because when the boy decides to act, he is surprised by the consequences of an infidelity that occurred 25 years ago.

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
