A Sweetness From Nowhere

World premiere: CPH:DOX / NORDIX:DOX 

When there's no other way out, play dead – a tactic we share with jellyfish. In 2011 in Berlin, a haunting shout triggers a journey of survival. At the heart of the film is a story of lust, of finding your way back to life after being stuck in a frozen state. Through fantasy, the body, and unexpected connections between time, nature, and healing, A Sweetness From Nowhere unfolds into a joyful exploration and curious search. A pure, hybrid film about transformation and healing, woven with three main threads: documentary essay, poetic facts, and evocative fable.
