Ingrid and Martha were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. Ingrid went on to become an autofiction novelist while Martha became a war reporter, and they were separated by the circumstances of life. After years of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation. Based on the novel What Are You Going Through by Sigrid Nunez.
‘If Pain and Glory was a reckoning with self and Parallel Mothers a reckoning with Spain, The Room Next Door is a reckoning with the entire world.’ Drew Gregory, Autostraddle
‘The Room Next Door is not a dour film. In fact, it’s rather optimistic, celebrating the beauties of life and meaningful connection in the face of death with a thoughtful, pensive tone.’ Maureen Lee Lenker, Entertainment Weekly
Roedd Ingrid a Martha’n ffrindiau mawr ar un adeg, wrth gydweithio ar gylchgrawn yn eu hieuenctid. Aeth Ingrid ymlaen i fod yn nofelydd hunan-ffuglennol tra daeth Martha’n ohebydd rhyfel, a chawsant eu gwahanu gan amgychiadau bywyd. Wedi blynyddoedd o ddieithrwch, maen nhw cwrdd eto dan amgylchiadau eithafol ond hyfryd hefyd. Yn seiliedig ar y nofel What Are You Going Through gan Sigrid Nunez.
