A boy and a girl meet up on an isolated beach and become best friends. They separate when she moves away, but 12 years later, they reconnect and become lovers. Then there's an accident and things get strange. Cloning and incest are involved. This is an odd one, and a movie you could watch just for how it looks. It's beautifully shot, and director Benedek Fliegauf holds shots several beats longer than you'd expect, so you get plenty of time to take the images in. There's a stillness and slowness to the movie that's almost hypnotic, and a lot of those images feature Eva Green. Take a look.
