Plot Berlinale:
Hind is a young karate athlete. One day, after she is subjected to abusive behaviour at her training centre, the world of the hard of hearing girl becomes distorted. Determined, Hind looks for a way to reclaim her power. Inspired by a true story, Sukoun sensitively reveals what happens when a supposedly safe space is shattered. Experienced through the eyes and ears of the protagonist, the film moves between pain and tenderness, silence and noise, the hidden and the obvious.

Thank you Caleyunior, this looks interesting! I hope it becomes available somewhere, maybe on Vimeo.

Grumpy rant, please ignore:

Spoiler: I am curious about what the "abusive behaviour" is here, because I know karate dojos and any other martial arts training centers traditionally have very strict rules of conduct. It sounds like some of the students might not be following those rules and need some discipline! (Do the horse stance for two hours with a teacup balanced on your head. ) In general, martial arts is not something to try if a sensitive soul is looking for a "safe space", so they should stick to playing with their dolls. They can expect a grueling regimen of pain and suffering if they study forms of combat, just the same as when they join the Marines!

By the way, the girl who plays in the short film is really hearing impaired.
The short was good, so it's worth to wait for it.
