DK: På en smuldrende ø midt i havet leder to søstre efter en vej væk. Mens himlen mørkner og bølgerne slår mod klipperne, tegner de cirkler i sandet med en krabbe, overbeviste om, at de kan knække koden til deres flugt. En poetisk og stemningsfuld fortælling om gentagelse og viljestyrke, KRABBECIRKLEN udforsker grænsen mellem håb og mønstre, der nægter at bryde.
EN: Two sisters search for a way out while a crumbling island by the sea. As the sky darkens and the waves crash against the rocks, they draw circles in the sand with a crab, convinced they can crack the code to their escape. A poetic and evocative tale of repetition and willpower, KRABBECIRKLEN explores the boundary between hope and patterns that refuse to break.
