A FAIRYTALE-LIKE SOCIAL DRAMA ABOUT TWO SIBLINGS ON AN ODYSSEY

Life is like a roller-coaster ride for 15-year-old Billie and her younger brother Nico. Nothing gives them security. Of course, their father loves them but when he drinks too much, he is unpredictable. Their mother is even less reliable. But Billie and Nico do not give up their dream of a beautiful youth. They run away with the neighbor Malik, experience adventures and make friends, until reality catches up with them again. In grainy black and white, occasionally interrupted by color sequences and shot with many close-ups, US independent director Alexandre Rockwell tells the story of two siblings who must defy a life of poverty. They draw hope from the power of love and poetry.

When he makes friends with a gang of kids, he is overcome by a thirst for adventure. He finally wants to live a normal life. Suddenly, Pino disappears, and the police assumes it as a runaway story. The SNERDs suspect something else. Mavi, Ciccio, Mei Ming and Domenico set out to find their new friend.

THE FAM

Alessia Radomski — Wed, 11 Aug 2021 09:18:52 +0000

THE FAM

La Mif. Switzerland 2021. Director: Fred Baillif. Screenplay: Fred Baillif. 110 Min. Fiction. Language: French. Subtitles: English. OV w/Eng. sub. Suitable from age 12. Recommended from age 15.

A residential care home in Geneva is a family replacement for the girls living there – but also the setting of explosive conflicts. The film tells its protagonist’s stories episodically. Being so close to the adolescents you cannot shake of the impression of watching a documentary. But it is fiction: THE FAM was developed over two years in close collaboration with the ensemble, reinforcing the authentic impact of this harsh but also empathetic film. In differing perspectives THE FAM depicts the young women’s situation and reflects the weaknesses of society’s fragile social and political structures, which are supposed to catch these kids. The film strikes at the heart.
