Hemel
Directed by Sacha Polak
Produced by Jaleo Films, Circe Films
A character-driven exploration of a daughter's sexual autonomy and her fraught emotional dependence on her father, told with tonal shifts between irreverence and vulnerability.
Divided into chapters, the film first chronicles Hemel's many sexual conquests, but then takes on a different tone as it explores her complicated relationship with her father, Gijs. A dapper auctioneer, Gijs has dated a series of younger women since Hemel's mother's death. But when Gijs starts seeing the charming Sophie, for the first time Hemel feels that her special relationship with her father is threatened...
