Countryside, fog, lots of fog, a car driving on a gloomy road. Inside are two women, mother and daughter. The journey ends in emptiness. In a square submerged in a thick haze, the car stops in front of the Moel Fanam Hall, an ancient English noble mansion, transformed into a luxury hotel.

This is the beginning of the film The Eternal Daughter by director Joanna Hogg, presented at the 79th Venice Film Festival.

It is the spectator's entertainment, guessing the secrets of the fog, the origin of odd rattles, the improbable characters, the solitude.
