About This Movie

Bleistiftstriche is a curious blend of introspection and tension. It paints this delicate portrait of Cora, whose summer days stretch under the weight of longing. The guesthouse, almost a character itself, hums with a palpable heat, serving as a backdrop for Cora's search for expression through color. Then Emma enters, this Frenchwoman whose presence softens Cora's edges, and you can feel the atmosphere shift. The film’s pacing isn’t hurried, letting moments breathe, allowing us to linger in their silences. It’s really the subtlety of their performances that pulls you in, each glance and hesitation feels weighty. It's all about that fragile line between connection and distance, captured with a simple yet profound aesthetic.
