Three generations of women reunite and come apart during one turbulent weekend in Barrage, a small and somewhat evocative second feature from Luxembourgish writer-director Laura Schroeder (Schatzritter).
The fact that one of those woman is Isabelle Huppert and the other, her real-life daughter Lolita Chammah, makes this intimate and well-played drama a veritable affaire de famille (and the second one since they played together in the 2010 comedy Copacabana). After premiering in Berlin’s Forum sidebar, the film could find overseas takers looking to appease their local Huppert completists, of which the number seems to be growing by the hour.

Exclusive: Family drama unites Golden Globe winner Huppert with daughter Lolita Chammah on the big screen.
Paris-based Luxbox has boarded sales on Laura Schroeder’s family drama Barrage, which unites Isabelle Huppert and daughter Lolita Chammah on the big screen.
The film will get its world premiere in the Forum section of the 2017 Berlinale.
Chammah stars as Catherine, a young woman who returns to Luxembourg after a 10-year absence to spend time with her daughter Alba, who she abandoned to the care of her mother Elisabeth (Huppert).
Alba, played by French child actress Themis Pauwels, gives Catherine a cold reception while Elisabeth is equally unwelcoming, perceiving her daughter as a threat to her role as the child’s main carer.
In a bid to rekindle her motherly bond with Alba, Catherine “kidnaps” her daughter and takes her on a trip to a lake in the north of the country. The main obstacle to their relationship, she discovers...
