The Room Next Door (12A)
Challenging subject matter is handled sensitively in this thoughtful drama, as two old friends, a war reporter and a writer, are unexpectedly reunited under difficult circumstances.
Ingrid and Martha were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. Ingrid went on to become an autofiction novelist while Martha became a war reporter, and they were separated by the circumstances of life. After years of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation.
