KLEINSTHEIM

Chris Wright, Stefan Kolbe, Germany 2010, 87 Min., OV with English subs
Followed by a talk with Chris Wright and Stefan Kolbe

The soil of the Magdeburger Börde is black and fertile. There is a castle and in it live seven teenagers and their educators. They call it Kleinstheim. Life moves between school and chat, love and social service. A year goes by and the world changes too. The film is about finding your own place in this world, in this time. The parents are physically absent – but their presence is always felt. A film about growing up, but not a typical children´s home movie.
