Competition 04

The film explores a personal feeling the two queer filmmakers face again and again in their daily lives and uses an experimental approach to convey that feeling. A person runs through meadows and bushes, their breath is heavy, sounds are distorted, and time feels unstable. There is no visible pursuer, yet the urgency never fades. The film ends with a sudden silence and a sense of relief, fragile, almost unfamiliar. The question lingers: whether there ever was a reason to run or if stopping would have been an option.
Reflecting on the weight that comes when societal norms are pushed upon people who fear falling short of their rigid rules.
