“This conversation is long overdue.”

Eva Khatchadourian (Tilda Swinton) is a woman haunted by what her son has done, moving through her days in a state of aftermath.

Ramsay cuts between fragments of the past and Eva's present isolation, showing a mother searching backward through his childhood for the moment she lost him.
