33 SCENES FROM LIFE
Julia is a beloved daughter and wife and she is a successful artist-photographer. It’s fair to say that Julia is happy in her life. Suddenly, everything collapses. In one year her world changes completely, making Julia a different person. Sickness and death from a close perspective are something different than what Julia expected - much more absurd, nonsensical and ridiculous. It all starts with the death of the family dog. Then Julia’s mother gets sick - with cancer. Her husband, a famous composer, is of no help, spending most of the time abroad and her father seems to need help even more than she does. 33 SCENES FROM LIFE is a film about the moment in life, when we as children change and become adults. It shows a time in life that everyone has to go through, because everyone has to grow up. Finally, it’s a story about stepping into the real world, where pain, suffering and doubts are inevitable.
