CEN2-02. Poison

Luxembourg/Netherlands/Germany, Feature Film, 2024, 89 min

Starring Oscar–nominated actor Tim Roth (Reservoir Dogs, Rob Roy)

Poison is a story about a couple who meet again years after tragedy drove them apart. Once married, Lucas and Edith have been estranged for ten years, ever since Lucas left. At Edith’s request, they meet at the cemetery where their only child is buried. During a long wait, their conversation progresses, revisiting their shared past and raising new prospects for their future. Their brief but intense meeting will bring simmering pain and resentments to the surface, but will be a reminder too of cherished intimacies, the love they once shared and the importance of forgiveness. Poison will resonate deeply with anyone familiar with loss, betrayal, or the struggle of moving past old grievances.
