Surreal body horror: A young woman slips into a second skin and a strange process of dissolution begins. Eyes, mouths and a lot more get out of control.
Magic mobile on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? A young woman slips into a second skin. She goes out, drinks bubble tea with her friends. Selfies are made. The mood is cheerful. But once back home, she and her outward skin melt into each other; a self dissolves. Her own reflection becomes a chimera. A surreal body horror animation about beauty ideals and the compulsion to fit in.

Winner of:
Silver Dove (International Competition Short Film)
A film like a family reunion – with love, fear, drama and good food. It is not always clear who is doing the desiring or deceiving. A bundle of energy aimed directly at the heart.
A cinematic family constellation in which the audience is guided through a seemingly random conglomeration of private photos, video recordings, notes, thoughts, sounds and texts. Narrative strands crystallise, only to be discarded, taken up again and finally left standing in their ambiguity. A film about the big questions of life, love, family, relationships, death and good food. No more, and certainly no less.
