Light as Feathers

15-year-old Eryk's relationship with his manipulative mother is very close, but now he doesn't know the difference between love and abuse. He lives in a small Polish village together with his mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. But the absence of his father has left Eryk growing up without a male role model, and has driven him and his mother into co-dependency. When Eryk develops feelings for his 13-year-old neighbor Klaudia, he can only fall back on the learned patterns of physical and psychological manipulation. "Dutch filmmaker Rosanne Pel has succeeded in making an impressive feature debut that examines manipulative sexual abuse among teenagers from the perpetrator's point of view." (Cineuropa)
