Moon

Iraq-born, Vienna-based director Kurdwin Ayub’s suspenseful second feature Moon stars Austrian performance artist Florentina Holzinger as mixed martial arts fighter Sarah. Hired as a personal trainer for three wealthy teen sisters, Sarah jets off to Amman, Jordan. What at first seems like a dream job – five-star hotel, private driver, generous compensation – soon turns unsettling. The girls, who show little interest in training, are strictly cut off from the outside world, and under constant surveillance by oddly threatening bodyguards. Blending horror and thriller tropes with committed realism, Ayub crafts a taut, unsettling tale of cultural collision that provocatively confounds expectations at every turn.
