The Room Next Door

Ingrid, a best-selling writer, rekindles her relationship with her friend Martha, a war journalist with whom she has lost touch for a number of years.

The two women immerse themselves in their pasts, sharing memories, anecdotes, art, movies. However, Martha now has cancer, and makes a request of Ingrid that will test their newly strengthened bond.
