约瑟夫是一名机场安检员,生活看似平淡无奇,然而,日常的工作枯燥乏味,安检传送带也持续输送着来自乘客和同事的疏离与不安。在一次不愉快的家庭聚会后,一个新的不羁的灵魂开始侵蚀原来的他,新的约瑟夫行事不计后果,时刻处在情感爆发、自我毁灭的边缘。这不仅是主人公一场拼命挣扎的自我发现,也是社会中形形色色普通人的生活写照。影片以手持摄影的形式拍摄,富于压迫感的镜头使人轻易代入人物混乱的内心。本·卫肖的表演极具冲击力。
The film is inspired by the true-to-life story of the discovery of the long-lost “Opus 28” manuscript from Norwegian composer Johan Halvorsen, originally performed in 1909 by Canadian violinist Kathleen Parlow, to whom the piece was dedicated. Campbell portrays a student who seeks to complete her thesis on Parlow by organizing a public performance of “Opus 28” from Toronto to Oslo. The cast includes Dueñas, Melanie Scheiner, Eve Duranceau, Maxim Gaudette, Rosa-Johan Uddoh, and Eileen Davies.
