Storia
The narrative follows a mother, Nan (Jennifer Connelly), and her son, Ivan (Cillian Murphy), whose lives are forever changed by a tragic accident in their past. Nan becomes a successful artist and healer, while Ivan grows into a solitary falconer who bears the emotional scars of their shared history. In the present day, a young journalist, Sophie (Melanie Laurent), arrives to interview Nan but inadvertently facilitates a reconciliation between mother and son after years apart. This encounter forces them both to confront the pain they've been carrying and reevaluate the true meaning of life and art.
Riassunto
Directed by Peruvian filmmaker Claudia Llosa, 'Aloft' (2014) is a nuanced exploration of loss, healing, and the human capacity for transformation. Set predominantly in Canada's frozen landscapes, the film juxtaposes the harsh beauty of nature with the raw emotional terrain traversed by its protagonists. Although the plot sources provided are somewhat vague on specific plot points like Sophie's role or the exact nature of Nan's artistic achievements, they do emphasize the themes of familial estrangement and redemption through confronting one's past.
