Story Synopsis

Antonia’s Line, winner of the 1995 Academy Award® for Best Foreign Language Film, is as inspiring and uplifting as the unforgettable character at its heart. Directed by Marleen Gorris, the poetic, sometimes humorous story follows the independent Antonia (Willeke Van Ammelrooy) as she returns with her brilliant daughter Danielle (Els Dottermans), to her rural village after twenty years to witness the death of her mother. There they start a new life on a farm, thus beginning a remarkable portrait of a large family and a community of mothers and daughters, and of one staunch woman. A film about life and death, the many characters are so unforgettably individual and as easy to follow as one’s own family tree.
