After a heated argument with her mother, 35-year-old Margaret gets a strict restraining order pending her trial. She is not allowed to contact her mother or come within 100 metres of the family home. But this distance only increases her need for closeness, drawing her daily to the edge of the perimeter that her younger sister has drawn around the house. Ursula Meier’s intense family drama is a compelling study of legal and emotional boundaries praised for its strong female roles. The film premiered at the Berlinale, while Stéphanie Blanchoud won the Best Actress Award at the Swiss Film Awards.
