In the vast rooms of a beautiful Sicilian villa, Anna (Juliette Binoche) receives an unexpected guest. Twenty-something Jeanne (the gorgeous Lou de Laage) has arrived from France, declaring herself to be the girlfriend of Anna's son, Giuseppe, who has invited her to the house to spend Easter together. But this is news to Anna, and Giuseppe is not yet there. Despite the disruption to her routine, Anna invites her young guest to stay, and as the two women await Giuseppe's arrival, they slowly begin to form a connection. Jeanne, dislocated and a little mystified at first, gradually gives in to the charms of the volcanic island. She swims in the nearby lake and makes new friends, while Anna – watched over by a long-time family friend – comes out of her shell. Yet still, her son's absence remains unexplained... (Palace Films)

Juliette Binoche is a great actress, which she once again fully proves in this film, which at times tries a bit too hard to be artistic. However, the problem arises when some compositions of scenes, especially towards the end of the film, become much more interesting, while any interest in the characters and the story disappears.
