Im Traum sind alle Quallen feucht

Short Film, AT 2023, DCP, 27 min, OmeU
Program: Kurzspielfilm Programm 3

What happens if you don’t follow the rules when you go to the sauna? In Marie Luise Lehner’s amusing short film, the protagonists must first overcome their feelings of shame before they can face their own desires, draw boundaries, and admit their mistakes. A whimsical and tender homage to queer bodies and identities and a convincing plea for their correspondingly sensitive handling.
