Austrian writer/director Sandra Wollner‘s Cannes Un Certain Regard Award winner begins with a calmly observed domestic situation. Divorced mom Ella (Minichmayr) gets ready to go on vacation while managing her squabbling daughters, teenage Jessica (Carla Hutterman) and precocious Melli (Lotte Schirin Keiling), with Jessica preferring to get high in the company of her cute boyfriend Lux (Tristán López). Before they can leave, tragedy devastates the family. A year later, the survivors take the interrupted journey to the sun-drenched Spanish resort Tenerife, and the drama becomes a unique, immersive exploration of what it means to experience grief. Woolner and her gifted cinematographer Christopher Oke (who shot 2024’s similarly themed and widely acclaimed Aftersun) penetrate the unassuming surface of things to create a disquieting, disorienting atmosphere of dreamlike, almost Lynchian uncertainty, anchored by Minichmayr and Keiling's brilliant performances. Everytime asks us, in superbly subtle fashion, to reimagine the ways in which it is and is not possible to live through loss and resume living an everyday life. —Larry Gross
