Synopsis
School is over but Sascha (Saladin Dellers) continues to be trapped in the inertia of a life in which everything was programmed by others, so he’s finding it difficult to go on independently. His mother urges him to either go to college or find himself an occupation. His friends get together to drink beer and watch the hours go by, or mess around with the urban furniture late at night. With a toughness that feels either tender or threatening depending on the situation, Sascha stumbles to find a routine that includes working in a forest near the town cutting trees and carrying firewood. There, he finds a hidden house inhabited buy people he will be amused and fascinated by. This debut film surprises you for the concise way it fits the pieces of the plot together –even when at times it seems to only describe life in a country town– as well as for its characters’ emotional nudity and the great use of snowed landscapes, a symbol for purity but also an arid place that awakes the most primitive impulses.
