Tiger Stripes
Amanda Nell Eu
The film tells the story of 12-year-old Zaffan’s transformation from a lively teenager into a tiger roaming the woods at night. The reason for this metamorphosis: one day, Zaffan’s menstruation starts. The strict girls’ school, a supposed shaman and even her friends try – in vain – to undo Zaffan’s powers and tame the tiger inside her.
Content note: Contains depictions of violence and violance against animals.
