Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Made in 2014, this quietly joins a wave of European shorts exploring queer intimacy without the coming-out narrative — just the mess of being already out and still lost.
Pfister shot this during actual sunset to get that dying light, which meant only one take per evening. The pressure shows in the best way — everything feels borrowed from time.
