Ane and Thomas are on the verge of separating but haven’t yet told their children. When Ane suffers a stroke, everything is put on hold.

They continue living together as she fights her way back. Their everyday life is now marked by new routines and unresolved emotions. Beginnings is a quiet, understated film about a family falling apart — and how a life-altering event turns everything upside down.

With an observant gaze and powerful performances, the film explores what happens when control slips away and you're forced to start over.
