Asche

Despite her critical acumen, SHE, an artist who is fully aware of her appeal, is dating the picture-perfect alpha male Simeon: a conceited bohemian genius who wears a proud armor of lewd pseudo authenticity. He insists on having an open relationship, but still wants to own his girl. However, in reaction to the inconspicuous man on the park bench – “you’re the naked girl from Instagram” – SHE is much quicker in confronting him with a smug male mirror. (…) In the shine of its own surfaces, ASCHE hides the deceptive shallowness that society constantly motivates us to cultivate and confuse with our inner selves. (Bianca Jasmina Rauch, sixpackfilm)
