Sarah (played by provocateur performance artist Florentina Holzinger) is an Austrian professional MMA fighter who has just lost a career-ending fight. She’s tough, with a face that shows her decades spent brawling, and she doesn’t hesitate to accept a job offer that her friends and family believe is too good to be true: A wealthy Jordanian man has hired Sarah to be a private trainer for his three sisters, who never leave the mansion without a bodyguard. But who is this family and why are they under constant surveillance?

Moon is Kurdish-Austrian filmmaker Kurdwin Ayub’s thrilling sophomore feature, following her award-winning debut film Sonne (SIFF 2023). Moon has already garnered several awards for its enthralling portrayal of a family in peril, shown through the hardened eyes of a woman trying to navigate a life she doesn’t want. Ayub doesn’t give easy answers in this tense film that asks, “How can you save others when you cannot save yourself?”
