For her latest feature, Treeless Mountain director So Yong Kim travels to America, but retains her interest in the separation of parents and children. Joby (Paul Dano) is a struggling rock musician attempting, for one last time, to gain shared custody of his daughter (Shaylena Mandigo). With its sense of loss underpinned by the beautifully framed vistas of a wintery American landscape, For Ellen is an understated and heartfelt drama.
