This mesmerizing film, steeped in true events, delves into a passionate love triangle, teeming with emotional intensity and unspoken words. Caught in the whirlwind of her unconventional life is her husband, Gutike, a man of discipline and honor, bound by his past as a retired military official. The third vertex of this complex equation is the renowned painter Moritz Rugendas, Carmen's heart's ultimate calling. Although they meet in person only sporadically, their relationship sustains and thrives on a decade-long exchange of heartfelt letters, their ink imbued with the hues of longing and unrequited love. "Absence" is a spellbinding exploration of love, loyalty, and the trials of a woman who dared to challenge the status quo, painting an enthralling portrait of passion and perseverance through the lens of Carmen's life.
