Movie Discovery of the Day: Zone (2024) by Christina Friedrich

A young woman sets out in search of counter-places and a life that feels like her own. Together with a goddess, she creates the Harz Mountains. She wanders the lowlands and finds a disturbing world. She lives in the walls and abandoned places. She wants to believe, hope, and love and experiences compulsion, tyranny and order. She dances in a train station hall, watches drinking games with Nordhäuser Doppelkorn and eats the director’s birthday cake. The war returns to their dreams and she hears great symphony orchestras playing just for her. On her beautiful and terrible journey she meets people with whom she breaks the silence. It is a visually epochal exploration and confronts the question of identity and its location in space and history. Nominee Grand Prix, New Horizons International Film Festival 2024.
