Low Season (2020)

Overview

A man and a woman meet each other on a beach in Kenya. He is trying to sell the coconuts he has picked to the tourists to make a living, while dreaming of meeting a woman who can help him to a better future. She is a tourist in a foreign country – and she is a filmmaker. ‘Low Season’ describes an unequal and problemtic encounter, but does so in a form based on exchange and mutual trust, which the dreamy, fragmented film not only reflects but enters into a direct dialoge with. ‘Low Season’ is hopefully a promise of longer films to come from Mie Mollerup who has made her mark with an artistic and humane vision in a both compact and complex form.
