Fantasy comedy-drama by Birgit Möller, starring Lena Urzendowsky (From Hilde, With Love), Jarkko Lahti (The Happiest Day in the Life of Olli Maki)
Preceded by an introduction by Laura McSwiggan, Honorary Vice-Consul of Finland in Toronto and Secretary of the Board of the European Union Film Festival
A quirky love story about finding your true self… or more than one. The wild but intimate portrait follows a young woman living with five distinct personalities who seem to dwell in an old-fashioned hotel, radically challenging our notion of singular identity and expression. Möller presents Dissociative Identity Disorder as a complex way of being that offers unique insights into our consciousness. By embracing our inherent multiplicities, Franky’s vivid imagination suggests that the idea of "normalcy" might be the real limitation.
Brussels International Festival of Fantasy Film Winner Best European Film
Max Ophüls Festival Winner Prize of the Ecumenical Jury Best Film and Nominee Best Director.
Toronto premiere!
"Reminiscent of films by Michel Gondry and Spike Jonze, and their screenwriter, Charlie Kaufman, the film boasts a simple, witty and amusing interplay of narrative planes.” — Cineuropa
“Despite the fairytale-like quality and the psychological subtlety, Franky Five Star remains a romantic comedy at its core — just one you have never seen before.” — Film-Rezensionen
Co-presented with Finland in Canada.
