Hemel frequently has one night stands with strangers, just as her father often changes girlfriends. Since the death of the mother, the two of them have a close relationship which tolerates no real commitment. But when her father falls in love, Hemel finds herself struggling with her emotions.
Structured around a string of casual erotic encounters, Sacha Polak’s transgressive exploration of sex as a coping mechanism recalls Steve McQueen’s divisive Shame. Explosive yet vulnerable, Hannah Hoekstra’s revelatory performance lends a nuanced complexity to the girl-with-daddy-issues archetype.
