Sinopsis
Mira, in her twenties, escapes from the pressure of running her family's vineyard by playing ice hockey. When new player Theresa joins the team, she challenges Mira's rigid worldview, leading her to spend life-changing nights in the streets of Vienna.
Screenwriter, Director; Vienna, Austria, 1987.
“To look at movies only from a theoretical viewpoint (Theatre, Film and Media Studies in Vienna and Utrecht, The Netherlands) was at some point not enough. In order to learn how to tell stories on my own I studied at the Film Academy Vienna, first Screenwriting (with professor Götz Spielmann), then after two years applied again, this time for Directing (with professors Wolfgang Murnberger and Michael Haneke). Finished both. After several short films, BREAKING THE ICE was my first feature film. I want to make movies that entertain and move emotionally, shake you up and leave you yearning. I focus on feminist topics as well as on socio-critical and -political topics.”
