Cinderella 3.0

Sebastian Harrer – Germany – 8:25
In the not too distant future Cinderella3.0 and NewBond meet in a chat room. They seem to describe themselves as boundless exaggerations of themselves. But the technical possibilities to design a one-night stands are endless bizarre – a paradise for fantasies and sexual preferences. The only stress factor: time. After the bell, the Prince will return to the Hunchback … Consequently, the main characters don’t speak a single word. The fantastic oversupply makes this unnecessary, but blunts. In principle, this film is about the loneliness and the loss of (sexual) identity. The only enemies in the battle of the sexes of the 21st century are time and reality.
