Balance

2015 · 15 min

A sparse, unsettling chamber piece that confronts power and consent with clinical precision, leaving a quiet, lingering discomfort.

Directed by

Overview
Two people, whose lives are accidentally intertwined, have completely different experiences of power in sexual relationships. The sexual life of prosecutor Sabine (28) resembles some of Kris' (21) case about sexual abuse she is working on, while Kris forces himself into a sexual act with a prostitute.
How it feels
Dark, tense and melancholic. Slow-burning and demanding.
