Le Coupe de Foudre – Blitzeinschlag
Short film
07:38 min, 16:9, 2023
The lightning strike of emotions or love at first sight. The unfathomable mystery of that moment and its volatile dynamics are being explored through a queer love story. Two women, one apartment, and a storm of lustful emotions. This romantic treatise seems to need no dialogue due to the synthesis of a tugging, unsettling soundtrack and the overly aestheticized visuals caught in slow motion. While floating between melodrama and horror, this LGBTQ+ short film opens itself not only to the subject of love but also embraces the somber echo that stems from the loss of said liaison.
