Dark Paradise

SYNOPSIS

SINOPSE

In Dark Paradise, her second feature after The Days That Confused, Estonian director Triin Ruumet takes a look at Karmen (Rea Lest) and her half-brother Victor (Jörgen Liik), both dealing with their father’s passing in rather unusual ways. They turn to sex, violence and people who don’t really have their best interests at heart. Then again, who said there is only one way to grieve?
