CGiii Comment
The intensity will make you snap...for FF button.
The music is imposing, the pace is erratic, the whole thing is as sour as an acid injected lemon.
Meaningful direction doesn't always produce a meaningful film - as this so clearly demonstrates.

Villa Amalia is the story of Ann, a musician, whose life is turned upside down by a kiss. When she sees Thomas kissing another woman, Ann makes a clean break, leaving him and everything else far behind her. Suddenly unsure of everything that seemed so certain, Ann knows only that she must change her life and become someone else to find herself. With her music and the friendship of Georges, who pops out of her distant past, she sets off on a journey that will take her to an island where the Villa Amalia stands.
