Lisa is moving out. Mara is left behind. As boxes are shifted, walls painted and cupboards built, abysses begin to open up, yearnings fill the room and an emotional rollercoaster is set in motion. A tragicomic catastrophe film. A poetic ballad about change and transience.

The Swiss twin brothers Ramon and Silvan Zürcher compose a poetic panopticon of forms of human relationships, that meanders between a study of everyday life, a fairy-tale and a psychological portrait of a brittle world. After their Berlinale-hit THE STRANGE LITTLE CAT (2013), THE GIRL AND THE SPIDER is the second instalment of a trilogy about human togetherness. A ballad about the need for closeness and the pain of separation, a tragicomic catastrophe film.

Ramon and Silvan Zürcher are twin brothers born in 1982. After high school in Switzerland, Ramon completes a Visual Arts degree at the Bern School of Arts (HKB) while Silvan studies at the Universities of Bern and Zurich. They both study at the German Film and TV Academy Berlin (DFFB) and complete 2013 their degree with the feature-length fiction film THE STRANGE LITTLE CAT, which premieres at the Berlinale Forum in 2013 and is shown at numerous international festivals (incl. Toronto, Cannes, Viennale, New Directors/ New Films) and receives several awards. THE GIRL AND THE SPIDER is their second feature-length film.
