Flower
Show

Courteous formality, allusive sexuality and mysterious nature entwine at the annual flower show. During the celebration, wild flowers are stomped to the ground. In the woods nature and fragile leg hairs continue to grow. The symbolic film portrays a story of three females in different phases of life, confronted with different expectations. It addresses how we have cultivated women like flowers for generations, and it may take many more growing seasons to breed new ways into this system.

Wrestlers

The highlight and goal of every athlete’s career is to achieve something great, such as winning big championships. The moment an athlete has prepared for throughout their career. One match where you write yourself in history books or you may be forgotten forever.

But that’s merely the surface. Two parallel realities alternate when athletic movements blend with choreography of dance, cuddling and lovemaking. The enemies notice they have a deeper relationship where there’s no competition. Surroundings disappear and two lovers can see only each other. The difference between fulfillment of happiness and bitter disappointment is characteristic for both worlds.

The sport represents the bestial side of human beings whereas the lovers manifest the humane nature. It’s just a matter of time when these two worlds collide and the prey confronts the predator.

Nun or
Never!

The nuns living in the convent are happily melted together, doing their daily routines in harmony. One of the nuns finds a man underground while digging potatoes. The nun begins to dream of a man and loses the shared rhythm.

Nun or never is a film about secrets that we all carry with us, more or less hidden. It started from a joke and became a study of standing out from the crowd in an unwanted way, and falling in love with fantasy instead of reality.
