Dekanalog announced today its acquisition of Sabrina Mertens‘ dark, methodical drama Time of Moulting, which wowed audiences at Rotterdam, Fantasia, and Nightstream 2020.
“It started off innocent enough for Stephanie (played as a child by Zelda Espenchied, and as a teenager by Miriam Schiweck), a vibrant kid stuck living with an aloof father and a mean, bedridden mother, neither of whom let their daughter do anything outside of their quaint 1970s Germany household.
“Over ten lonely, isolated years, Stephanie’s mind gradually veers towards darker thoughts — and inevitably, troubling habits and actions. Impressively made as a film school project, Sabrina Mertens’ patient and chilling debut explores the ways in which innocence can turn into something sinister.”
The film, which also stars Freya Kreutzkam, and Bernd Wolf, is set for a Spring 2023 release in the U.S.
The deal was negotiated by George Schmalz of Dekanalog and Cinthya Calderon of Media Luna.
