Summary
- Siblings in an opulent villa hide from their father's demands.
- A brother's announcement to move in with his girlfriend sparks revelations.
- The film explores generational lies and family disintegration.
Karim Aïnouz's drama Rosebush Pruning, set to premiere at the Berlin Film Festival, delves into the absurdities of a traditional patriarchal family. The film's trailer hints at a satirical narrative unfolding in an opulent villa under the Catalonian sun.
American siblings, heirs to a fortune, wallow in isolation, prioritizing designer clothes over their blind father's expectations. Their self-absorbed existence is disrupted when the eldest brother announces his intention to move in with his girlfriend.
This revelation severs familial ties and prompts one sibling to investigate their mother's mysterious death. The ensuing unraveling of generational lies threatens to disintegrate the family's carefully constructed facade. The film is an adaptation of Marco Bellocchio's 1965 drama Fists in the Pocket.
