Das Mädchen und die Spinne
Experimental and innovative drama by the Swiss twin brothers Ramon and Silvan Zürcher about a young woman who moves out of the apartment she has shared with a roommate.
Lisa is moving out. Mara is left behind. As boxes are shifted, walls painted and cupboards built, abysses begin to open up, yearnings fill the room and an emotional rollercoaster is set in motion.
The second film in Ramon and Silvan Zürcher’s loose trilogy about human togetherness follows their award-winning feature debut, THE STRANGE LITTLE CAT, in building a lingering claustrophobic tension hemmed in by four walls. As extended family members, neighbours, handymen and hangers-on pass in and out of the two flats, a palpable undercurrent of sexual desire and jealousy fills the frame.
