LIVE A LITTLE

LIVE A LITTLE

Interrail. Couchsurfing. Memory gaps. 
Laura wakes up one mor­ning hungo­ver in a stran­ge bed. A used con­dom lies on the flo­or next to her. Fragments of the pre­vious night emer­ge: a par­ty, lots of alco­hol, her best fri­end Alex, a couch­sur­fer. What began as a care­free Interrail trip beco­mes a search for ans­wers for Laura. With each stage, new frag­ments of memo­ry come tog­e­ther. Laura beg­ins to doubt whe­ther the night was con­sen­su­al. Was she even capa­ble of giving her con­sent? Director Fanny Ovesen’s unspa­ring and grip­ping film is not just about the ques­ti­on of whe­ther Laura was raped or not. Rather, she shows the deve­lo­p­ment that Laura goes through as she tri­es to regain con­trol over her body, her sexua­li­ty and her auto­no­my. (LGR)
