JE’VIDA
JE’VIDA
Trailer
Iida waits for her niece Sanna in front of a high-rise building. They have never seen each other before. Together, they drive to the lake-side house that they have inherited. It is the place where Iida and her now-deceased sister grew up. While rummaging through the estate, they stumble across items that make Sanna suspect the existence of a family secret. Iida, however, wants nothing more than to clear out the house as quickly as possible and sell it on. Only in the rising smoke of the inherited objects, now ablaze, does Iida's past slowly come to light.
