FANTASY
Special Features: 2027 Oscar® Selection, Slovenia
On the outskirts of Ljubljana, a trio of 20-something tomboys struggle to break free from the chains of racism and misogyny in filmmaker Kukla’s stylish and bold coming-of-age tale. Mihrije (Sarah Al Saleh) is desperate to avoid the marriage arranged by her conservative parents. Sina (Mina Milovanovic) spends her free time at the kickboxing gym but is stuck in a toxic affair with her coach. And Jasna (Mia Skrbinac) has her sights set on fleeing Slovenia for Western Europe. But their worlds turn upside down when they meet a liberated trans woman named Fantasy. Together, they embark on a journey that explores the complexities of gender, desire and self-discovery. (Note adapted from Totem Films.)
