d. Gitti Grüter (Germany, 2023), German with English subtitles, 1h19m, UK premiere
In this highly personal film, director Gitti Grüter engages with five other women living with ADHD – attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder – to reflect on their shared experiences and challenges. Sick Girls weaves together each woman’s story and asks: what does it mean to have your existence not fit within the rigid frame of societal norms?
