Cinema Westside - The Swallowed Woman

1899. During a bleak winter night, Aimée, a young and determined teacher, arrives in a remote village in the snow-covered Franse Alpen. While she tries to pry the closed community away from its superstitions, a palpable tension grows beneath the surface. When a devastating avalanche hits the village, everything comes to a head. With her debut film L’Engloutie, Louise Hémon creates a sensory and mysterious slow-burn about isolation, desire, and female power. A compelling film that was praised in Cannes for its atmosphere and formidable ending.
