Teaches of Peaches

 

TEACHES OF PEACHES

Directed by Philipp Fussenegger, Judy Landkammer | 102 min | Germany

Prudence, a dishwasher and housecleaner with the telepathic power to eavesdrop on people's streams of consciousness, creates eccentric characters out of clothing she steals from her clients and stages confrontational performances in the street. She is estranged from her mother, an artist and the only person who shares this telepathic gift. As Prudence comes to terms with her mother's terminal illness and the knowledge that her telepathy comes at a cost, she gains a clearer understanding of how to find meaningful connections with others.
