Country: Austria
Plot: A 19-year-old is coming out of prison and trying to build a new life but he can't deal with his guilt.
Quick comment: Austrian actor Markovics (known for his role on “The Counterfeiters”)
makes his debut as director and the result is “breathing” – a movie with
personality. Without any kind of sentimentality, it shows the struggle of a
young boy to reintegrate himself in society after spending his life first in
an orphanage and then in a juvenile detention center.It shows how important it is for a person in this situation to feel
support from others in order to move on. A director to keep an eye on.
Relevant awards: Grand prix (Melodist); label europa cinema (Cannes).
