“The Nightmare” concerns dealing with anxieties. The audience takes part in Tina’s growing self-awareness. She meets her own shady sides in form of a strange creature which she learns to accept – Tina’s internal world gets visible by the nightmare. At the same time the film is about the acceptance of personal peculiarities and the social approach to anomalies. For these issues AKIZ has found an extraordinarily artistic expression, provoking, irritating – and convincing.
