In this dark, sexy, psychological coming-of-age drama, 17-year-old Jakob works at a slaughterhouse and struggles with crippling anxiety. Jakob takes refuge in the Internet, where he meets 26-year-old artist Kristjan on a cam-chat site. Caught between reality and fantasy, youth and adulthood, Jakob’s blurry process of sexual awakening is a psychedelic trip of hot, strange hallucinatory sequences of desire and madness that will bring you to the edge of your seat.

Sex is power, and Waseem, a Syrian gay-for-pay hustler seeking asylum in Cologne, wields it like a shield. Keeping his johns at an emotional arm’s length while satisfying their most carnal desires in order to eke out a living, he meets his match in Lars: a kind, affluent professional with a growing personal interest in Waseem. This gripping tale of transactional identity explores the tactical exchange of trust and intimacy in a partnership, and the divisions between immigrants and their host countries in contemporary Europe.

THE GROUND BENEATH MY FEET
Austria, 2019, in German with English subtitles, Drama/thriller, 108 minutes
Director: Marie Kreutzer
Lola is a high achiever at a demanding management consulting job, despite the secrets she keeps from her colleagues — namely, an intense affair with her boss Elise, and the constant needs of her paranoid schizophrenic older sister, for whom Lola acts as guardian. When her sister’s instability intensifies, Lola finds her own grasp on reality weakening. Marie Kreutzer’s third feature is a searing psychological thriller and a bold feminist statement, rooted in its protagonist’s fears of underperforming in a cutthroat professional world.
