Stina Werenfels : 2015
Dora oder Die sexuellen Neurosen unserer Eltern
At the age of eighteen, Dora is just beginning to blossom. Her mother Kristin has recently decided that Dora's psychotherapeutic medications are no longer necessary. As the mentally challenged young woman rushes headlong into life, a man takes a liking to her. Soon, the two become sexually involved, he obviously taken with her unrestrained sensuality. Seeing the relationship as unscrupulous and abusive, her parents demand their daughter stops seeing her lover. But their efforts are to no avail and when Dora's affair leads to a more serious situation, everyone has to reassess the limits of their relationship to each other, and reconsider such topics as self-determination, trust and jealousy. Examining the responsibilities of parents as they try to protect their vulnerable child, the film questions the right to sexuality and freedom-of-self of individuals with mental disabilities. Stina Werenfels's third feature premiered at Solothurn Film Festival 2015, and had its international premiere in the Panorama section at Berlin International Film Festival 2015.
