"Woman: Shared Sensibilities, A Collective Voice for Equality"
JANINE MOVES TO THE COUNTRY
JANINE ZIEHT AUFS LAND
In a small-town microcosm of Germany caught between violence and erotic fantasy. Janine, who is queer, moves back to the country and encounters ghosts of her past. A peeping neighbor’s inappropriate conduct stirs up dark memories – and also draws her in.
ಹಿಂಸೆ ಮತ್ತು ಶೃಂಗಾರಮಯ ಕಲ್ಪನೆಗಳ ನಡುವೆ ಸಿಲುಕಿರುವ ಜರ್ಮನಿಯ ಒಂದು ಸಣ್ಣ ಹಳ್ಳಿಯ ಜೀವನದ ಸೂಕ್ಷ್ಮ ಚಿತ್ರಣವಿದು. 'ಕ್ವೀರ್' ಸಮುದಾಯಕ್ಕೆ ಸೇರಿದ ಜನೀನ್ , ಮರಳಿ ಹಳ್ಳಿಗೆ ಬಂದು, ತನ್ನ ಗತದ ಭೂತಗಳನ್ನೆದುರಿಸುತ್ತಾಳೆ. ಆಕೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಕಣ್ಣಿಟ್ಟಿರುವ ನೆರೆಯವನ ಅನುಚಿತ ವರ್ತನೆಯು, ಹಳೆಯ ಕಹಿ ನೆನಪುಗಳನ್ನು ಕೆರಳಿಸುವುದಲ್ಲದೇ ಅವಳನ್ನು ಅದೇ ಕತ್ತಲ ಜಗತ್ತಿನೆಡೆಗೆ ಆಕರ್ಷಿಸುತ್ತದೆ.
