The Girl From Nowhere

Michel, a retired maths teacher, has lived alone since his wife's death and occupies his time writing an essay about the beliefs that shape daily life. One day he comes across Dora, a young homeless woman, who shows up injured on his doorstep, and puts her up until she recovers. Her presence brings something new to Michel's life, but gradually the apartment becomes the site of mysterious happenings.

The Girl from Nowhere took top honours at the 65th Locarno Film Festival 2012, winning the Swiss festivals top Golden Leopard (Pardo d'oro) prize.
