CHARLY, Spielfilm HOF 2021
“Charly has never learned to be alone. She does not know the feeling, nor does she want it. She is trapped in her idea of love, in her familiar structures, just like the people she meets. The encounters become mirrors to herself which lead her step by step away from her misguided path and towards harmony with herself and her environment. Only when she meets her inner child she can break free from her cage.
As an almost exclusively female core team, this story was a response for us all to the patriarchal power structures in which we still feel trapped. CHARLY, for us, is the way to leave the noise of influences behind and move towards inner peace – after all, self-empowerment starts inside. CHARLY is a search, a drifting from loudness to silence; on the way towards letting go.”
