In a Year with 13 Moons
Drama
Elvira Weishaupt, once a burly working-class butcher, has made an enormous sacrifice for love. She has undergone a sex change for a romantic interest who has abandoned her, and she now must struggle to reconcile her past life with her present identity.
VIBE
A raw, introspective journey through identity and alienation. This film feels like a lonely, late-night walk through a city that doesn't understand you, grappling with the profound weight of love and loss.
