ANGELIKA’S NOTE
SYNOPSIS

The adventures of an eccentric girl who has strange attitudes towards hygiene and sexuality longs for the reunion of her divorced parents.

"With her dirty-blond curls and angelic smile, Helen is fully alive in a way that's all too rare on our movie screens. She's not out to shock or sicken; that's your problem, not hers."

New York Times

"One of the most daring, visually arresting, innovative, and imaginative examples of filmmaking to come out of Europe in recent memory."

Philadelphia Inquirer

"A visually playful story of a girl finding herself from the inside out."
