Run Time:
97 minutes
While on vacation, Liv and Malte make love on a quiet stretch of beach. They are watched by three young men who follow them to their room. Forcing their way in, they submit the couple to a brutal act of sexual violence and flee. With time and therapy, Liv and Malte seem to have buried the event and returned to some normalcy, resuming their careers and pushing onwards. Then one day Malte sees the young man who led the assault. Stunned, he follows him and immediately becomes obsessed with confronting him. A sudden passion for vengeance may shatter Liv and Malte’s newly constructed peace, only to reveal how fragile it actually is. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COUPLE charts how their relationship alters in the aftermath of violent crime. Each sees a different path away from this new upheaval, though perhaps neither leads to redemption. This psychological thriller explores the choice between revenge and justice. Can the law truly fill the cracks their violent assaults have left, or is more violence their only road to peace? (In German with subtitles)—C.R.
