Henry is a Girl Who Likes to Sleep
Marthe Peters, 2026, BE, 16mm to digital, Dutch spoken, English subtitles, 14'
In a small interior space where bodies constantly yearn for sleep, the filmmaker seeks in her beloved Henry something soft and tender to inhabit — some fur to retreat into. Between bedsheets and freckles, a declaration of love emerges — a fragile collage tracing a path between intimacy, vulnerability, and warmth. An ode to our captive pets, and to the intimate worlds where we learn to live and rest.
