Servitudes
(DNK 2015, 2K, 9’,  no dialogue)
Cast: Dree Hemingway
The film only has a single camera position but a complex subject. It investigates the balancing act of identity, femininity and the clichés of sensuality and erotic – and thus, the dominant culture of youthfulness and beauty that exists in today‘s world.
