Mond

Moon
Kurdwin Ayub, Austria 2024, 92 Min., German, English, Arabic with English subtitles
Followed by a talk with Kurdwin Ayub

The former MMA fighter Sarah leaves Austria and goes to Jordan to train three sisters from a wealthy family. What initially seems like a dream job soon takes a disturbing turn: the young women are isolated and constantly monitored. Their interest in sports appears minimal. Before long, Sarah begins to question the true reason behind her employment.

Mond is an engaging, contemporary exploration of Western prejudices, the concept of "White Saviorism", and the ways in which genre conventions are used to challenge the audience’s perception. (CO)
