The Rapture

After Lydia's relationship falls apart, she struggles to find an anchor in her life. As a midwife at the hospital, she assists her best friend Salomé during childbirth. Soon after, she encounters Milos, a man with whom she spent one night. For some reason, she tells him that the baby she is carrying is their shared daughter. This small lie sweeps her into a vortex of deception. The Rapture looks at the pain of loneliness and the hope for love and parenthood with a non-judgmental eye. Thanks to a wonderful performance by Hafsia Herzi in the lead role, director Iris Kaltenbäck, in her debut film, successfully translates moral and emotional dilemmas into a compelling drama that deserves your attention.
