FOREIGN LANGUAGE

PURE, AUTHENTIC COMING-OF-AGE BETWEEN LEIPZIG AND STRASBOURG

Fanny from France tra­vels to Leipzig for a school exch­an­ge. Her part­ner is Léna, who longs to immer­se hers­elf in poli­ti­cal acti­vism. Fanny is attrac­ted to Léna and does ever­y­thing she can to impress her. After some initi­al skep­ti­cism, the two young women even­tual­ly grow clo­ser. Initially fri­end­ly, the fee­lings bet­ween the two chan­ge at a par­ty. Full of staged ten­der­ness, FOREIGN LANGUAGE tells the sto­ry of two peo­p­le who long for inti­ma­cy in an envi­ron­ment in which they both feel ali­en­ated. A Franco-German decla­ra­ti­on of love that also cap­tures the fears of Generation Z about the future.
