SYNOPSIS

Lola is a young consultant who works over a hundred hours and exercises five times a week. She works overtime every day and has no time for sleep. She is also competing against her colleague over a big project at work. She wears fancy suits and lives in a nice hotel. But underneath this façade of success, there lies a secret she has never told anyone; her sister Connie is suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. One day, she gets a phone call explaining that Connie has been hospitalized after a suicide attempt.
The Ground Beneath My Feet talks about the issues young women face in today¡¯s over-competitive, hyper-capitalist society, and the anxiety-driven state of mind when one¡¯s life conditions become unpredictable. As the plot continues, Connie¡¯s paranoia about Lola spreads to Lola¡¯s frantic lifestyle and mental state, until the audience can no longer tell what has or hasn¡¯t really happened, and which sister is suffering from a mental disorder. KREUTZER captures the uncertainty of life at the cross-section of competition and desire, through the nuanced and delicate movements that lurk at the surface of images. [KWON Eunsun]
