DREAM NAILS Shortfilm
Webseite Teaser
Festivals World premiere @ Hofer Filmtage 2019
Synopsis Cindy (65) regularly escapes into the microcosm of her nail studio DREAM NAILS to find peace and relaxation. As she tries to indulge in the manicure of Duc, her favorite nail practitioner, she notices that racism, sexism and a general aggressiveness have long since found their way into her beloved refuge. The negativity around her become unbearable. Cindys gathers her inner strength. As if by magic, the movements of those present begin to synchronize. At first isolated and against their will, but in the end everyone becomes transformed by surreal togetherness.
Director’s Note The idea for DREAM NAILS occurred to me when I got my first manicure in Austin, Texas in March of 2017. I went to a Vietnamese nail salon and it was quite an experience. Aside from the bold color and ornate decorations adorning the space, what struck me most was the slice of humanity found within. On the one hand, there is a rare intimacy between people sitting across the table from one another, but there’s also a palpable coldness, distance and anonymity.
