Between Two Worlds

2022 · 107 min

A quiet, immersive plunge into grueling labor and the uneasy bond between observer and observed, leaving a lingering ache.

Overview
Marianne Winckler relocates to the port city of Caen in order to pass herself off as a member of a large community of itinerant workers desperate to make ends meet. She gains employment as a cleaner on a ferry travelling between Ouistreham and Portsmouth, recording the drudgery of the work she and her colleagues are required to do.
