On September 9, see the tender coming-of-age story, Weightless! Danish filmmaker Emilie Thalund’s debut feature shines a light on self-acceptance, friendship, desire and growing up.

“A smart, striking debut” (Leslie Felperin, The Hollywood Reporter)

Fifteen-year-old Lea is spending her summer at a health camp tucked between the forest and the sea. Her new roommate, Sasha, is everything Lea wishes she could be: bold, magnetic, and unafraid to take up space in the world. While Sasha flirts with the local boys, Lea’s gaze is fixed on Rune, the camp’s charming instructor. When Rune reciprocates her attention, something awakens within Lea; an unfamiliar yet thrilling desire.

Winner of the New Directors Competition at the San Sebastián Film Festival 2025 and the FIPRESCI Prize at this year’s Göteborg Film Festival, WEIGHTLESS has already enjoyed major festival success.
From debut director Emilie Thalund, the film presents a bold and intimate exploration of adolescent desire and identity, following 15-year-old Lea during a transformative summer, capturing the delicate balance between longing, self-discovery, and the complexities of emerging sexuality. This poignant coming-of-age story offers a fresh and honest voice in contemporary cinema.
