Living Afterwards explores grief and familial disconnection in a quiet, introspective way. The setting, a once-thriving family hotel in the Belgian countryside, adds a nostalgic layer to Henri's struggle with loss. As the children rush to sell the hotel, their unwillingness to confront their mother's passing creates a tension that hangs in the air. The film's pacing is deliberate, allowing you to feel the weight of their shared history. Performances are understated but striking, especially Henri's portrayal of a man caught between memory and the need to let go. It’s a nuanced take on how we deal with the remnants of love and the spaces left behind. The atmosphere feels thick with unspoken words, making it rather distinctive in its approach to family dynamics and healing.
