Dekanalog announced today its acquisition of Sabrina Mertens‘ dark, methodical drama Time of Moulting, which wowed audiences at Rotterdam, Fantasia, and Nightstream 2020.
“It started off innocent enough for Stephanie, a vibrant kid stuck living with an aloof father and a mean, bedridden mother, neither of whom let their daughter do anything outside of their quaint 1970s Germany household.
“Over ten lonely, isolated years, Stephanie’s mind gradually veers towards darker thoughts — and inevitably, troubling habits and actions. Impressively made as a film school project, Sabrina Mertens’ patient and chilling debut explores the ways in which innocence can turn into something sinister.”
The film, which also stars Freya Kreutzkam, and Bernd Wolf, is set for a Spring 2023 release in the U.S.
The deal was negotiated by George Schmalz of Dekanalog and Cinthya Calderon of Media Luna.

Young Stephanie (Zelda Espenschied) is utterly alone. It doesn’t matter that she lives with her parents (Freya Kreutzkam’s Mom and Bernd Wolf’s Reinhardt) because their physical presence pales in comparison to their emotional absence. And nothing will ever change. It can’t. Stephanie’s mother is too far lost in the past to think about the girl’s childhood when memories of her parents keep her forever longing for the childhood she herself wasn’t afforded. Stephanie’s father is conversely too busy living in the present to worry about anyone else as more than obstacles with which to combat on a personal road towards contentment. They both know it’s not a perfect home to raise a child in, but it’s all they can muster. They embrace stagnancy in lieu of happiness.
