Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made as a student film, this punches way above its weight class—Danish film schools are producing some of the sharpest social realist horror right now.
Nielsen never shows the violence directly; she trusts audiences to fill in the horror, which implicates us as complicit listeners too. The trans gaze isn't just represented—it's weaponized against our own voyeurism.
