Catching Birds (2023)
When Theo awakens her sense of desire, Anouk, the only girl on the wrestling team, starts seeing the sparring sessions in a different light. A quietly intimate film, in which relationships between bodies, gazes and feelings are negotiated anew.
Directors: Lea Marie Lembke, Simon Maria Kubiena.
