THE GROUND BENEATH MY FEET


Lola is a jet-setting business consultant who excels at the aggressive tactics and nonstop work her job requires. She travels back and forth from Vienna, where her tasteful apartment serves more as mailbox and laundromat than home, to the headquarters of the latest corporation she's restructuring.

Approaching 30, Lola is beautiful, works out, and her career seems on a fast track to success. Lola manages her personal life with the same ruthless efficiency she uses to optimise profit margins. She keeps her relationship with her boss Elise secret, as well as the existence of her older sister Conny, who has a long history of mental illness. But when she receives the news that Conny has attempted suicide, Lola's secrets threaten to explode into the open. As she tries to do what's best for her sister without jeopardising all she's worked so hard for, Lola slowly finds her own grip on reality slipping away.

Just as with her previous feature “We Used to Be Cool”, Kreuzer says she is interested in answering the question: "What can be painful behind a happy or successful life?"
