Making a film on death far removed from the commonplaces of tragedy is no easy challenge. In Ivo (world premiere in the Encounters section of Berlinale 2024), Eva Trobisch draws a portrait of a profession that deals with it on a daily basis in an honest and lively way. Ivo (Minna Wündrich) is a palliative care nurse who goes from house to house, from patient to patient, observing the different attitudes that human beings assume when the end of their days is imminent. Her work intertwines with her personal life in many ways, especially as she befriends her patient Solveigh and her husband Franz, who is also Ivo's lover. Trobisch's camera observes their peculiar relationship without judgement, understanding that their emotions and decisions are rooted in pure humanity while conveying this sense of empathy to the viewer.
