A winner at Cannes 2013, this is Italian actress Valeria Golino's directorial debut - a character study about an assisted suicide activist.
"Miele is the story of Irene (also known as 'Honey'), a 30-year-old girl who helps suffering people. Terminal patients who want to make shorter the struggle with death, people whose suffering injure the dignity of a human being. One day a 70-year-old man in good health, who simply thinks to have lived enough, asks her to help him. The meeting will put to the test Irene’s convictions. It will open a stringent debate between the two. Their relation becomes more and more full of implications and emotional ambiguities." (Cannes Film Festival)

"The film shies from directly addressing anguished existential questions. It is finally a story about the puncturing of one young, headstrong woman's personal belief system."

The New York Times"Its small achievement is in trying to understand the life-and-death choices of two people who aren't as certain about what they're doing as they initially appear."

The Dissolve
The Dissolve"Honey is a fascinating and complex figure, and Jasmine Trinca inhabits the role with a detached intensity that's thoroughly compelling."
