Juniper

The story of 'Juniper' begins with Sam, played by George Ferrier, returning from boarding school. A boarding school that has deprived him of his freedoms because he finds himself in a vicious and self-destructive cycle that will undoubtedly lead to his death. When he arrives home he discovers that his English grandmother, played by Charlotte Rampling, has moved in with him to take care of her.

But Ruth is not just any grandmother, she is a woman who has experienced horror up close. She lived her life as a war photographer with a great hunger for life and an uncontrollable thirst for alcohol. Soon they will begin to confront each other. Sam feels overwhelmed by the wit that the drink gives him and his impudence.

The first meeting between the two will be full of discomfort but the second will be worse, violence will take over the situation. The holidays arrive and these two characters will find themselves abandoned alone in that house, they will only have the presence of the nurse Sarah, a role in charge of Edith Poor.

The film will show us the battle for supremacy of Sam and Ruth, and the particular battle of each one. From the first, the need to cling to life again and from the second, his inevitable acceptance of his upcoming death.
