2024, Los Angeles
Feature Film, 74’
20-year-old Rachel moves from New York to Los Angeles to reinvent herself. Initially still anchored in classic role models, she increasingly comes into conflict with them in her new environment and, in conversations with her new friends, begins to redefine her expectations of life and discover other sides of herself. Depressive states and a longing for authenticity play just as much a role as the fear of showing oneself and dreaming of a different self.
The film was created in close collaboration between the director and actors over a period of two years and a total of 32 days of shooting in Los Angeles and the surrounding area.
