Anna, a queer teacher with a taste for sadomasochism, and her sister Charlotte, a polished literary agent, share little beyond a rivalry for their mother’s affection. When the family reunites in their Schleswig-Holstein home, long-buried tensions surface amid biting exchanges and the absurd discovery of a donkey sponsorship.
After their mother’s death, Director Roseanne Pel ups the ante, turning the sisters’ antagonism into darkly comic storm of family dysfunction, sexual shame, and sibling cruelty.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the director.
