Winner of the New Directors Competition at the 2025 San Sebastián Film Festival and the FIPRESCI Prize at this year’s Göteborg Film Festival, Weightless is a poignant coming-of-age story from debut director Emilie Thalund.
Fifteen-year-old Lea (Marie Helweg Augustsen in a breakout role) is spending her summer at a Danish health and wellness retreat nestled between the forest and the sea. Her new roommate, Sasha (Ella Paaske), is everything Lea wishes she could be: bold, magnetic, and unafraid to take up space in the world.
While Sasha flirts with the local boys, Lea’s gaze is fixed on Rune (Joachim Fjelstrup, Boundless, Frankenstein), the camp’s charismatic instructor. When Rune reciprocates her attention, something awakens within Lea; an unfamiliar yet thrilling desire. Over one transformative summer, Lea's newfound desires set her on a challenging journey of self-discovery.
A bold and intimate exploration of adolescent desire and identity, this tender drama from a fresh new voice in Danish cinema captures the delicate balance between longing, self-discovery, and the complexities of emerging sexuality.
