Synopsis

A woman kills her fears and past to be reborn as her true self. "I am a coward. I look in the mirror and I see the person who is afraid. I look her in the eyes, I say nothing. Just look. She says nothing back. Her eyes have the colour of fear. My fear has almost consumed her eyes. I feel all rotten with a big hole inside of me and this hole is filled to the top with old heavy fears. They are soaking there."

Synopsis

How can you be accepted when you're hiding behind a mask? The film represents a journey of a woman overcoming fear of not being accepted: starting from her desire to correspond to societal female standards, through admitting that she always felt as a weirdo and looking for an outside validation, to understanding that she does not need people who do not love her as she is and finally to accepting that she is ‘not normal’ and that the only acceptance she needs is the self-acceptance.

Synopsis

Freedom is our greatest need and our greatest fear. A story of one day from a life of a woman, everyday fighting with herself, trying to find freedom to feel, to enjoy, to make mistakes, to be a human being. A life happens not in epic events, but in everyday small steps. When we are 100% authentically ourselves, we are being told we are Too Much. This is a story of everyday fighting with yourself and for yourself, of trying to find freedom to feel, to enjoy, to make mistakes, to be a woman. From 20s to their 40s and more, women are put in cliche boxes suggesting what they should be at this age, at this life stage, in a certain country and culture. But we need to find a way to our true selves.

Synopsis

Two hands, Glynid and Hynus, are trapped together indoors. As they talk, we learn that they are waiting for a virus wreaking havoc in the outer world. Glynid is an anxiety-riddled know–it–all who dogmatically follows ‘the science,’ while Hynus is an ignoramus whose nonsensical belligerence highlights their absurd situation. They argue over what precautions to take, what the statistics mean, and how to pass the time. Endless desperate moves ensue as the pair attend a virtual Shibari workshop, create pubic hair art, compose a virus-themed anthem, and partake in cleansings and poisonings, before remembering they have a child that they may have accidentally left outside. Deciding to leave to find the child, they stay. This puppet show, drawing from Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, satirizes the Covid-19 era. Connected to the outside by a window that doubles as a screen, what begins as a waiting game soon unravels into paranoiac exchanges, conspiratorial musings, and bouts of reflection that lead to self–loathing in one hand and self–care in the other. As the objects that once held meaning to them disappear while they wait, a new reality grows around them, if only they had eyes to see it.
