Sparrow in the Chimney
Incredibly original, and directed with great pathos...''The Sparrow in the Chimney' is a work of tremendous beauty and fragility.

The Sparrow in the Chimney
Karen, along with her husband Markus and their children, lives in her childhood home, left behind after the death of her mother. When her sister Jule visits with her family to celebrate Markus’s birthday, the weekend opens old wounds and past traumas, unleashing repressed feelings that threaten to destroy their relationship and shatter Karen’s grip on reality.
The latest film from acclaimed writer and director Ramon Zücher (The Girl and The Spider), The Sparrow in the Chimney is a “darkly engrossing psychodrama of pent-up domestic tensions.” (Variety) With “deep, bold dives into the nightmarish and the surreal” and a venomously comedic touch, this is the “rare film that feels like a catharsis for protagonist and director both.” (The Film Stage)
