ZEČJI NASIP (DIE MAUER AUS SAND) 

2025, Croatia/Lithuania/Slovenia

Čejen Černić Čanak

Marko lives in a small village in Croatia. He is popular and likes spending time with his little brother, who has Down syndrome; he has a girlfriend and is due to open a car repair workshop with his father after graduating from school. But when a repressed part of the past, Slaven, returns to the village, Marko’s life is turned upside down: whilst everybody else is worried about an impending flood, it dawns on him that some feelings simply cannot be suppressed. A touching plea for love that defies social rejection.

Zwei Menschen umarmen sich eng, halten sich sanft aneinander fest und berühren sich vor einem sonnenbeschienenen Fenster. Die Beleuchtung schafft eine weiche, intime und schattige Atmosphäre.
