SILVER HAZE
Sacha Polak; 2023; Netherlands; 102 min

The scars on Franky’s body are a constant reminder of the question she has no answer to: who set the pub fire that burned her as she slept 15 years ago? Amidst her quest for revenge, she falls for Florence, a suicidal patient at the hospital Franky nurses at. Through their relationship, Franky discovers her sexuality and runs away from home to escape her unaccepting family. SILVER HAZE is an intimate drama about confronting traumas of the past, finding chosen family, and learning to let go of anger in order to love again. Vicky Knight gives a powerhouse performance as Franky, providing the emotional anchor of this complex character study that won the Jury Award at the Berlin International Film Festival.
