Sandra Wollner, trauma and mourning in "Everytime"

Sandra Wollner's film "Everytime" explores themes of loss and memory through the lens of a grieving family in Berlin. After the tragic death of their teenage daughter, the family embarks on a journey to Tenerife, where they confront their trauma and attempt to preserve the memory of their loved one. The film, which won the Un Certain Regard award at Cannes, emphasizes silence and absence rather than direct representation of grief. Wollner's approach focuses on the ongoing impact of loss on relationships, highlighting how characters rely on each other to keep the memory of the deceased alive. The absence of traditional photographs reflects a shift in how memories are preserved in the digital age, as characters engage with digital remnants of their loved one.
