Ursula Meier's dark semi-comic fable concerns a family living next to an unused motorway. Isabelle Huppert and Olivier Gourmet excel as the parents.

The first feature from Ursula Meier (who later made Sister), this portrait of an isolated family living in a house next to an unused motorway makes for an intriguing allegory - partly comic, partly disturbing - about the trials and tribulations of contemporary life.

Isabelle Huppert and Olivier Gourmet excel as the laissez-faire parents who are forced to make a decision when the road is suddenly opened to an onslaught of traffic.
