ANGELIKA’S NOTE

Bolstered by an acclaimed lead performance from Oscar winner Kate Winslet (THE READER, TITANIC), HIDEOUS KINKY gives audiences a "fusion of dream sequences and evocative landscapes makes the characters' feverish sense of living at the edge of reality contagious" (Chicago Reader). It follows a young mother (Winslet) who relocates to Morocco with her two daughters. The New York Times raves, "Ms. Winslet movingly captures Julia in all her obliviousness and optimism, then watches how she awakens in ways she least expected."

SYNOPSIS

They encounter many adventures, new experiences, and interesting culture as they tag along on their mother’s search for freedom and love.
