Undercurrent

Cookie and Josef are brother and sister who have always been inseparable. Cookie tries to resemble Josef in an attempt to perpetuate their childhood bond. Josef escapes Cookie’s imposed claustrophobia when he finds a lover in Noga and devotes his attention to her. Cookie, left alone, turns her infantile attempt of imprisoning Josef into a creative project. Milk, play and personal photos all become raw materials that guide the film ultimately lifting Cookie to a sublime state of maturity and new independence.
