The Courageous
Jasmin Gordon
This film will be followed by a 20 minute Q&A
In a small town in the Valais region of Switzerland, the eccentric and delinquent 40-year-old Jule (Ophelia Kolb) has had enough of the rules. Crushed by her mistakes and by a society that doesn't give a damn - or a second chance - to people like her, she'll do anything to prove to her three children, and to herself, that she is still a good person. There are no simple and straightforward solutions in Gordan's debut feature. There is a lot that the film chooses not to tell, focusing on the relationship between the mother and her children instead. It compels its viewer to not judge but understand and empathise.
