In the slow, sticky summer of late-90s Eastern Europe, twelve-year-old Ro sets out to procure a pirated copy of Eraserhead by David Lynch.

Lili Koss is a Berlin-based screenwriter and director drawn to character-driven stories exploring themes of identity and belonging. Her work experiments with the form and boundaries of the screenplay, without necessarily bonding with a specific genre, while she cannot hide her fascination with the possibilities that magical realism offers as a tool for expression. Central to her visual language is a commitment to authenticity, which she seeks to examine in every project.
