Former martial artist Sarah leaves Austria to train three sisters from a rich family in Jordan. What sounds like a dream job soon takes on worrying traits: The young women are cut off from the outside world and are under constant surveillance. Sport doesn't seem to interest them. So what is the reason that Sarah has been hired?

Breaking with white-savior stories and soap opera premises, Kurdwin Ayub (SONNE) delivers a gripping and shocking thriller. With her film about "sisters, no matter where they come from, and cages, no matter where they are" (Ayub's quote), she proves once again that she is one of the most interesting voices in contemporary German-language cinema. In the leading role: Florentina Holzinger, "the super shocking full frontal feminist performance superstar. Really, really hot shit" (quote from association member Cinémathèque).
