16mm, color, 1:1,66, 94 min, 2024
Premiere 77. Film Festival Locarno
Special Mention
After escaping from gym class, SIMON (17) suddenly finds himself on a riverbank together with a group of strange youths. Only when Marie appears he finds someone to connect with. Together they manage to escape the compulsive dynamics of the group and enter the timeless and in-between realm of the enchanted landscape of the nearby riparian forest. In associative images and mystical nature shots, the film explores the boundaries between individuality and community.
I would like to give a glimpse of something that counters the existential loneliness of our human present. Ultimately, redemption lies in the encounter.
