A Sweetness from Nowhere
En ljuvlighet från ingenstans
When there is no other way out, play dead — a tactic we humans share with jellyfish. In Berlin in 2011, a haunting cry sets a journey of survival in motion.
At the heart of the film is a story of desire, of finding one’s way back to life after being frozen in place. The film unfolds through imagination, the body, and unexpected connections between time, nature, and healing.
Ester Bergsmark (Something Must Break, Shemale Snails) is back with a joyful exploration and an inquisitive quest, weaving together three main strands: documentary essay, poetic facts, and an evocative fable.
