Set over 24 hours as the brother and mother of a suicidal man attempt to care for him, Safe Place is a beautifully acted film that won multiple awards at the prestigious Locarno International Film Festival. A highly personal film that will resonate broadly, this debut feature is a compelling and sensitive film about challenging subject matter, and how tragedy brings families together.
