SYNOPSIS

Over the course of one long, wintry day, two very different women struggle to salvage their troubled relationship.

Liv and Emilia wake in their idyllic home to a national tragedy, forcing the couple to confront the crumbling foundations of their own relationship. As jealousy, mistrust and control permeate the impeccable but claustrophobic space, River Take Me offers a meditative reflection on whether we should try and cleanse the past or let it flow with alongside the present.
