To me cinema is an expression of emotions, it has not only to grab you in a poetic, beautiful and gentle way, but also conveys violence, aggression and frustrations. I start with an emotion, the state of mind of a character, a complicated life.
This film focuses on a father and son and their emotional journey. They live in an area that has become a cross-border zone, the film, however, is not a social plea but a personal drama that addresses the refugee issue indirectly.
I want to reflect on our perpetual tolerance of violence in various forms and ask the questions what is guilt and when is someone guilty? We all know the commandment “thou shalt not kill”, but violence is lying just below the surface in all of us.
The viewer is invited to immerse into the protagonists’ life, in their harsh world, a twilight zone between reality and fantasy.
To visualize the world of the main characters, we will develop a world in which grim brutality and poetry co-exist and sometimes use an almost documentary approach. The meaning is not only to be found in the plot but also in the atmosphere. An intimate film about memories of childhood, adolescence and dreams of life.
A world of image and imagination.
