2018 · 120 min

A heavy, slow-burning tapestry of loss and resilience that asks for patience and emotional openness.

Overview: The three stories within Genesis explore the notion of family: a woman in her late thirties rediscovers the faith she lost as a child; a mother goes to extreme lengths to ensure that her daughter is saved from the fate she was forced to endure; a Roma boy’s family are killed and the perfect world of his childhood is destroyed.
How it feels: Bleak, melancholic, earnest and tense. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Family, grief, faith, survival
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
