IT CAN PASS THROUGH THE WALL

Portrait

It’s evening, time for grandpa to put nine-year-old Sofia to bed. Alas, a mother’s distraught cries ring out from the flat next door, while the grandfather discusses her son’s suicide with his guests. In a continuous shot, Radu Jude captures Sofia’s curiosity: inside the darkened room she can’t help eavesdropping on the lamenting and discussion, as her fear gradually grows more intense.
