Anatomy of a Fall

The sun shines brightly in the French Alps. Sandra, a successful German writer, has settled into a snowy chalet with her husband Samuel and their son Daniel, who has lost his sight. When Samuel dies under mysterious circumstances, the investigators try to unravel whether his fall from a height of many metres was suicide or accident. After her husband’s autopsy, Sandra is suspected of murder. Inadvertently, the trial puts the couple’s tumultuous relationship, ambiguous personalities and multiple affairs under the microscope. “Marriage is messy,” she states from the stand.
