'Time Of Moulting' Exclusive Trailer: A New Dark German Psychological Horror
In a small town in 1970s West Germany, Stephanie (played by a charming Zelda Espenschied as a young child, and a surly Miriam Schiweck “ten years later”) is raised by two parents who have no business having children. The mother (Freya Kreutzkam, never far from despair-induced collapse) suffers from an unspecified medical condition—one both mental and physical. The father makes it clear that he has no patience for his daughter.
Young Stephanie takes solace in exploring the mysteries hidden away in the increasingly untidy house, particularly the trunk full of her grandfather’s butcher’s equipment; older Stephanie takes far more sinister comfort in the tools found therein.
Time of Moulting screens at New York City's Nitehawk Cinema on June 6th, presented by The Future of Film is Female, with writer/director Sabrina Mertens in attendance. North American distributor Dekanalog will expand the dark German feature to numerous other cinemas throughout June and debut it on VOD in September.
