HINTER DEN FARBEN

Germany 2024 – Regie: Julia Groteclaes – 61 min – Gesprochene Sprache: German

A film about the state of absolute powerlessness up to complete self-empowerment - told on the basis of a near-death experience through imprisonment.

By accident Micha spends three days in the hollow behind a waterfall. He was sucked in by strong currents while mountain climbing. Through the veil of water in front of his eyes, he sees the mountain rescue team withdraw on the second day of an unsuccessful search. Micha is invisible. Eight people retell his story from a first- person perspective, enriching it with their own extreme experiences. The waterfall becomes a symbol of absolute powerlessness and the narrators grow into an ensemble of a collective experience of self-empowerment.
