Synopsis

Frida is drowning in exam preparation and the relentless speed of modern life. When her body temperature plummets and her hair turns white, a doctor diagnoses an archaic survival mechanism:

Frida is preparing to hibernate. As she desperately fights to stay awake, her surroundings respond with incomprehension, eviction, and commodification.

Frida Friert is a poignant, absurdist drama about exhaustion, loneliness, and a generation forced into survival mode.
