What's Between Us

Claudia LORENZ 2015 Switzerland Fiction color 94min Swiss German DCP
Alice and Frank have just moved to a new house in the country with their children, but their 18-year marriage comes to an abrupt halt when he reveals that he is increasingly attracted to men, and has concealed a relationship with his new lover. Faced with the helplessness of her situation, Alice must choose between two paths: that of breaking up her family, or attempt to solve their difference and consider whether reconciliation with her husband is at all possible.
