That is what it is about

Step by step, Janie regains control over her life. Janie's therapy is led by Irma, who demands iron discipline and demands everything from the young woman. Success, however, makes it possible for her to step out into the free world again for a limited time. But on her very first outing, she can hardly believe her eyes when she thinks she meets herself. Irritated and confused, she spies the "other" and falls into a bloody abyss of madness and obsession.

What you should know

The world of Janie opens up in glistening light and hypnotically filmed. From minute to minute, this cinematic gem becomes darker and takes the viewer into a mad Escher labyrinth from which there is no escape. Sarah Hagen shines in the leading role and leaves her audience stunned. Somewhere between I SEE, I SEE and STARRY EYES lies this nasty, fine and outstanding piece of genre art. A film as beautiful as it is disturbing - as disturbing as it is fascinating!

Direction

In addition to his debut NEGATIVE SPACE, Ben Cresciman attracted attention with short films. For his second feature film SUN CHOKE, he was able to win over an outstanding cast that may not boast any big names, but whose cast is perfectly matched. Cresciman's skills as a writer and director reveal that one should make a note of his name, because after SUN CHOKE one must undoubtedly speak of a truly great talent.
