Beautiful You
r: Bernadette Kolonko
Njemačka / 2020. / igrani film / 18′
Dok Christine uzaludno pokušava natjerati svoju nijemu kćer da ponovno progovori, dogodi joj se neočekivani susret: upoznaje Leonore i osjeti privlačnost prema njoj. Vođena obiteljskim dužnostima, Christine postaje sve svjesnija činjenice da je vlastita nijemost spriječava u izražavanju same sebe i vlastitih žudnji.
While Christine tries in vain to get her mute daughter to speak again, an unexpected encounter occurs: She meets Leonore and feels attracted to her. Driven by the duties of family life, Christine becomes increasingly conscious of how her own speechlessness prevents her from expressing herself and her desires.
