柏林的初夏，30出头的韩国女性梅因一场突如其来的分手陷入失眠与游离。她在城市中漫步、在地铁中沉思，日常的细节唤起了她在首尔成长的记忆。语言的转换、身份的游移，使她在德语、英语与韩语之间穿梭，也在过去与现在之间徘徊。影片以极简的构图与疏离的镜头语言，捕捉她与陌生人之间短暂的交流、与自己之间更深的对话。

May, a Korean woman in her early thirties, finds herself suddenly alone after an unexpected breakup. As she drifts through sleepless days in Berlin, memories of her youth in Seoul begin to rise to the surface. 　　THE PLANT FROM THE CANARIES, a contemporary portrait of a woman caught between time, languages, and the subtle changes in the day to day.

With her son Edward (Tom Hiddleston) about to embark on a volunteer trip to Africa, doting mother Patricia (Kate Fahy) wants to give him a good send-off, and gathers her family together for a getaway to a holiday home on idyllic Tresco, one of the Isles of Scilly. Edward’s father’s attendance is eagerly anticipated, though sister Cynthia (Lydia Leonard) appears to be there under some duress, going through dutiful motions. Cook Rose (Amy Lloyd) is happy to tend to the family, though her presence causes some discomfort. The holidaymakers spend their time walking, cycling, taking picnics and being tutored in oil painting, appreciating the breathless beauty of their surroundings. Gradually, deep fractures within the family set-up begin to surface. One of the most eagerly anticipated features of the year, Joanna Hogg’s follow up to Unrelated serves as a worthy companion piece to her brilliant and acclaimed debut, as she continues to make astute and authoritative observations on the malaises of the middle-class, extracting sometimes painful drama from incidental events. Archipelago confirms Hogg as one of the most intriguing and vital voices in modern British cinema.
