Directed by Ann Oren • 2022 • Germany
Starring Simone Bucio, Simon(è) Jaikiriuma Paetau, Sebastian Rudolph
Ravishingly shot on lush 16 mm, the audaciously erotic, playfully surreal debut feature from Ann Oren crosses lines of gender and species on a visceral journey into sexuality, control, and artifice. Introverted and unqualified, Eva (Simone Bucio) finds herself woefully out of her depth when she is unexpectedly tasked with creating the foley for a television commercial featuring a horse. As she slowly adjusts to her new job, her obsession with creating the perfect equine sounds grows (literally) into something more tangible. In the midst of a radical physical transformation, Eva becomes more confident and empowered—ultimately luring an unassuming botanist into an intriguing game of submission.
