Temperatures have risen to such extremes that people are forced to stay indoors during the day. 28-year-old Jonah is working as an actor for an agency that replaces increasingly unfeasible real-life relationships, when he takes on the role of 9-year-old Nika’s father. In doing so, his neatly ordered life begins to slip out of his control. Jacqueline Zünd’s atmospheric, solastalgic (speculative, yet entirely plausible) fiction identifies the trigger for emotional disconnection not in digital artifice, but in the environmental and climate crisis: devastating not only the outside world, but also our inner world. The Swiss filmmaker brings aesthetic precision and a quiet power to her direction, grounded by a young cast led by Karidja Touré (Girlhood) and Levan Gelbakhiani (And Then We Danced), awarded Best Actor in Filmmakers of the Present at Locarno. A timely fable about the inability to warm our hearts amid the suffocating heat of climate crisis.
