ZUGZWANG - Simple and Beautiful

Lars Fuchs' short film, ZUGZWANG, is a beautiful short film that approaches the topic of sexuality and acceptance in a very sensitive and thoughtful way - with chess. From one room, one chessboard, the film Zugzwang spans a lifetime and accomplishes a great deal through the subtle growth of characters, Eugene and Sacha. Director Lars Fuchs is known for his ability to tell stories full of heart and Zugzwang is another great one to add to his collection! A definite MUST SEE!
