Storyline

Toni, an attractive Catholic priest, impregnates several women in the Swiss countryside of the 1950s until the bishop revokes his priesthood. The six children only meet after Toni's funeral. They talk about their fatherless youth, their brave mothers and the fatal silence they now want to break.

The starkly elegant compositions underline the existential nature of the brothers' plight: it will be entirely up to them to make something of their lives.

Suffers from largely rudderless direction, relying for any sense of profundity on the breathtaking beauty of Abraham Haile Biru's cinematography.

Lyrical and stoic.

Functions partly as a sly critique of the seeming prohibition and obsolescence of an authentic African gaze in world cinema.
