Press review

The wonderful love and marriage of the main character ends in divorce. B. is incapable of coping with his recent past, his captivity as a child and his miraculous survival. These events separate him from daily life and love like an indestructible wall. His wife wants children and he doesn’t. He deems it inconceivable that life goes on and that happiness can be shared. Long Friday depicts on our behalf the drama lived by anonymous people.

Opening date: December 8, 2006.
Running time: 1 hour and 35 minutes.
Not recommended for viewers under the age of 14.
