En amont du fleuve

Homer and Joé trace the rivers of Croatia aboard a small boat. In spite of being fifty years old each one, none of them knew of the existence of the other until the recent death of the father of both. Now, however, they are half brothers. During the voyage, they meet Sean, an enigmatic Irish adventurer who will join them on the journey.

"Marion Hänsel signe un étrange film d'aventures intimiste, où les paysages — superbes — deviennent allégoriques." - Télérama

"Des scènes de pétages de plombs époustouflantes d’Olivier Gourmet et John Lynch explosent comme des orages extrêmement impressionnants dans le calme d’un décor tantôt paisible ou menaçant. En amont du fleuve plonge dans les tréfonds de l’âme humaine en emportant les spectateurs dans son sillage." - 20 Minutes
