欧琪的婚姻生活万事美满,但从一通电话开始,生活的伏流暗影全浮上了台面;先是老父亲进了医院,过往情人影像侵入心房,自己丈夫则投进了他人怀抱;情节乍看似喜剧,却是生命中不可承受之轻,笑泪交织,真相如此沉重。看雅丝敏阿莫拍片像是在薄冰上跳芭蕾舞,那姿态总是轻盈,底下却触及种族、宗教、性别等等一碰即碎的敏感议题。 Anxiety tells a story of love and forgiveness, its possibilities and the hope it brings. Essentially there are two stories: the first follows Orked’s life while the second tells the story of a muezzin and his efforts to assist two prostitutes in finding redemption.
