Albträumer

Rebekka (Sarah Mahita) grew up in a secluded village in the Black Forest. She is popular with everyone, has had a boyfriend for a long time and seems to lead a carefree life. But appearances are deceptive: since her older brother Dennis jumped to his death two years ago, the family idyll is nothing but a façade. A sensitively acted coming-of-age drama with mystery elements told in intoxicating imagery. After her 17-year-old brother's death, Rebekka falls into a deep depression but deals with her pain by falling in love with her brother's best friend. "An unusually high number of suicides and murders occurred in the small village in the Black Forest where I grew up - among the victims was my best friend. Close friends and relatives usually feel powerless and lost, as do the sufferers themselves. I want to give space to these feelings with DARK DREAMER." (Director Philipp Klinger)
