Description

In Holly, Belgian filmmaker Fien Troch (Home, Kid) once again explores the elusive world in which young people find themselves (unintentionally) involved. Troch delivers a compelling feature film with an impressive lead role by Cathalina Geeraerts. After Holly, a 15-year-old girl, seems to have predicted a deadly school fire, all eyes are on her. Teacher Anna is intrigued by Holly's strange premonition and invites her to do volunteer work in the grieving community. Everywhere she goes, Holly brings calm, warmth, and hope. But soon she loses control of her own life and more and more is expected of her. Holly premiered at the Venice Film Festival, was the opening film of the Ghent Film Festival, and has been selected for the IFFR 2024.
