Skin Beneath Sand

2024 • Directed by

Katy Alberdingk Thijm

On a hot summer day, Agnes and Elena are lying on an empty beach, where the loose sand, the water and the wind prevail. Gradually, the sharp sea breeze exposes the colder sides of their usually warm bond. In a silent battle, the boundaries between tenderness and aggression as well as jealousy and admiration fade, while nature and emotion merge symbiotically. The two young women play a mute game of attraction and repulsion, in this stylish black-and-white debut.
