Antares

This is an Austrian film about a woman with husband and daughter who’s led an adulterous past. And apparently, she’s got no problem picking it right back up when her x-lover shows up at her work. And things get real graphic (not for long, since he was done in under a minute – but you saw more than you would have in an American film). She finds a way to go back to him (thankfully, she works third shift which lends itself to extra-curricular activity), and eventually runs into her daughter while walking the streets of whatever Austrian town they live in. There’s a side story where a guy is cheating on his girlfriend who’s a complete whackjob and also lying about being pregnant. Things get really convoluted in a cool way where it’s all intertwined between story lines. And then it ends all weird and anticlimactic. It’s pretty good as foreign films go.
