SEARCHING EVA
Synopsis

Our take
Pia Hellenthal’s audacious character study is an unforgettable 21st-century portrait. The film focuses on the elusive Eva—an anarchist, feminist, sex worker, musician, web diarist—a figure who resists all categorization. A candid look at addiction, exhibition, and the performance of the self online.
