The Police Officer's Wife
Director:
Philip Gröning
A simple film. A man, a woman, a child. A small town. Perfect sundays. Affection and distance. The father’s career at the local police department. And the mother solely devoted to caring for the child. The violence between husband and wife. we watch as this woman sinks. And how she does everything she can to save this child’s soul, to let it grow. To teach the child love.
