Gait

LIM | Less is More 2024

“Gait” is a erotical drama feature in the early stage of development.
It is the story of Slava, who has lost part of her memory due to an aggressive medical treatment. The girl takes a month off and decides to trace her own steps back in order to discover herself.
In this debut feature film I would like to combine documentary and fiction to create a hybrid genre as well as develop the erotical drama genre, because of the potential in creating a twist challenging the image of what we understand to be erotic.
