Maya Dardel

An internationally respected poet announces she is going to kill herself and needs an heir and executor. Young writers drive up the mountain to compete for the position and are challenged intellectually, emotionally, and erotically.

Directed by Zachary Cotler, Magdalena Zyzak, Maya Dardel leans on a strong ensemble — Lena Olin, Nathan Keyes, Alexander Koch — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2017.
