Synopsis

When D and H decide to sell the home they have loved and lived in for two decades, they begin a process of saying goodbye to their shared history under the same roof. The upheaval causes anxieties to surface, and wife and performance artist D, struggles to control the personal and creative aspects of her life with H. Dreams, memories, fears, have all imprinted themselves on their home, which exists as a container for their lives and has played such an important role in their relationship.

Synopsis

Archipelago is a quietly devastating portrayal of a family in emotional crisis.
Edward is preparing to leave for a year of voluntary service in Africa. His mother Patricia and his sister Cynthia decide to gather the family together, on a remote island, as a farewell trip to say goodbye to Edward.
Hired cook Rose and painting teacher Christopher, though bought in to help, only serve to bring the family's anxieties into sharper focus. When the father's arrival is delayed, the unspoken forces of absence and loss bring the family's buried anger to the surface.

Synopsis

Arriving without her husband for reasons that are at first unexplained, Anna enters the cosy world of a bourgeois family on holiday. In her mid-40s with no children of her own, Anna is unrelated to this extended family, which belongs to her old school friend Verena. 
 
Phone calls to her husband Alex reveal a rift in their marriage, hiding an unspoken sadness in both their lives. In a series of subtle ellipses, and with a deliberate avoidance of melodrama, we observe Anna as she rejects the company of the adults, in favour of the carefree teenagers. They seem to fill an empty space in her life. Through Anna's awkward attempts to join in with the teenagers' escapades, she unwittingly becomes the centre of a breakdown within the family, and finds herself shunned by everyone. She attempts to find solace through phone calls to her husband Alex but is met by jealousy and suspicion. 
 
Anna retreats to an anonymous hotel room, where Verena visits her, and Anna's untold story finally emerges. Her curious behaviour appears in a new light and she now has to pick up the pieces of her relationship with Alex.
