After attacking her mother (Bruni Tedeschi), Margaret (Blanchoud) has a
restraining order put on her. For three months she must not come within 100
meters of her mother. If she does, she will be sent to prison.
Her younger sister (Spagnola) paints a blue line, and there they meet
every day.
It is clear that Margaret is a very disturbed young woman with a history
of violence. We are not told why but we see her mother as a narcissist, playing
the suffering martyr to the hilt. All three sisters are emotionally damaged by
their upbringing.
It’s an engaging film of a dysfunctional family. Good acting helps pull
it together but it’s quite depressing to watch.
