Creative documentary one-off, 84 min.
Revir is a film about longing. Siblings Susie and Sune have been left to themselves since childhood. Together they buy an old farmhouse and surround themselves with animals—live, dead and in different stages of resurrection: She is a promising taxidermist and he has decided to sustain her dream.
But they long for different things and old ghosts reappear. Sune cut ties with their mother eight years ago but now she is intruding. They travel to the European Taxidermy Championships where Susie puts her frail ambitions to the test. When their mother shows up, family ties are challenged.
The film explores the landscape inhabited by Susie and Sune and the nature that inhabits them. Is siblinghood enough? Or is it too much?
