Janine zieht aufs Land

Janine, with a shy smile and dark chestnut hair, decides to leave Berlin and move to the countryside because her partner, Pierre, suffers from asthma. The couple rents a house from a woman who lives next door with her two adult sons, Enrico and Peter, the latter of whom has an intellectual disability. Janine quickly realizes that almost everything—and everyone—in the village is hostile, except for Peter, who develops a strange fascination with her and begins spying on her through the window. Mixing fictional imagery with archival photos and videos, the film unfolds like an investigation into the clash between trans and gender-nonconforming individuals and environments rooted in the past—traumatic, unwelcoming places. Cheap and offbeat, a radical, defiantly queer UFO.
