Conservative politician Mathilda is actually in favor of strictly guarded EU external borders. Things become all the more difficult for her when she is asked to help her old friend Richard accommodate Malik, who has illegally entered the country from Morocco. Mathilda’s second-generation assistant Amina also questions her own position when Malik becomes the target of a terrorist investigation following a bomb attack.
Kurdwin Ayub electrified with her widely-lauded feature debut SONNE (2022), depicting a Muslim girl’s experiences growing up in Vienna. She flips the perspective in MOND, following an Austrian woman on a work trip to Jordan. In an inspired casting choice, choreographer and performance artist Florentina Holzinger plays Sarah, a retired mixed martial arts fighter hired as a personal trainer by a wealthy family in Amman. What initially appears like a dream job—swanky hotel, private driver—quickly turns troubling. The teenage sisters she is supposed to train show no interest in the sport. Their palatial home is always deserted, apart from the cleaning staff and several bodyguards, who patrol the house as if it were a prison. The girls aren’t allowed to access the WiFi network and seem shut off from the outside world. When Sarah enquires about the identity of her employers at the hotel bar and mentions their family name, the previously friendly barman abruptly ends the conversation. While keeping the story in a realist register, Ayub borrows tropes from the thriller and horror genres to generate mounting suspense and upend the archetype of the white saviour, thus forcing viewers to confront their own preconceptions.

At 17, Johanne falls head over heels in love with her female teacher. In an attempt to capture this first crush, she pours her experiences onto paper with raw honesty. When her mother and grandmother discover her writings, their initial shock at the intimate descriptions gives way to admiration for their literary merit. The two older women begin to reflect on their own love lives, their pleasures and missed opportunities, and are reminded of the overwhelming sensation of first love; and of the longing for something more. Johanne’s grandmother, an established poet herself, feels both pride and unease at her granddaughter’s natural talent. But questions linger: What truly happened between Johanne and her teacher? Where does reality end and fiction begin? And should these deeply personal writings ever find their way to publication?
