 Special Jury Prize winner at the Locarno Film Festival, Kurdwin Ayub's long-awaited new feature film after Sonne (2022), produced once again by Ulrich Seidl, returns to the culture clash between East and West through the tribulations of a group of young women, in a realistic thriller about the boundaries of personal responsibility in the face of collective injustice. After her sporting career in Austria has stalled, Sarah, a passionate mixed martial arts fan, accepts an offer to become the personal trainer of three sisters from a wealthy family in Jordan. Once in the country, she soon realises that behind the Al Farahadi's appearance of privilege lies a much more disturbing reality. Used to pushing her body to the limit, the prestigious dancer and choreographer Florentina Holzinger also gives her soul in her screen debut.
