THIS IS A TRAILER OF THE FILM.
Songs of the Underworld (Nicola Hepp. Sweden.) 5:50 min.
A Bittersweet, almost tangible remembrance is vividly portrayed by dancers Rolf Hepp (the director’s father), Martinette Janmaat (the director’s former teacher/mentor) and two young performers: Reggy Deekman and Célinne Moza. As the images of the older and the younger couples become more intertwined, we begin to understand that this story is not only about youth being lost.
