Eleven year old Maria has lost her little brother to cancer. Having disappeared into herself, her mother is no longer there for Maria and her father struggles to keep the family together. Maria meets Jacob, who is the same age as she, but with a completely different attitude. Jacob is outgoing, exciting, funny and has wisdom way beyond his tender years. He gradually pulls Maria out of her shell and enables her to come to decisions which will affect her entire life.
Movie Reviews
Only Clouds Move the Stars
By Ted Shen
From the Chicago Reader
Maria's younger brother has died of cancer, her father is despondent, and her mother has slipped into a prolonged depression, but while visiting her aunt she meets a young boy who helps her reenergize her family. Norwegian director Torun Lian handles this potentially maudlin material with craft and intelligence, delving into the adults' emotional withdrawal and the daughter's craving for solace and affection. Svein Krovel's elegant cinematography constantly probes the facade of calm composure embodied by the family's sterile modernist home.
