A la caza de los ñumanos
Producer
Ricky es un rebelde chico de ciudad de doce años al que no encuentran hogar de acogida para él, salvo una granja en medio de la nada con una pareja; ella encantadora, él, arisco y solitario. Cuando comienza a sentirse a gusto, un problema imprevisto dará pie a una caza humana por el campo neozelandés.
The Weight of Elephants
Producer
Adrian is a classic outsider. His playful, dreamy imagination distracts him from everyday life, for the reality he lives in could not be more different. Neither his chronically depressed uncle nor his overworked grandmother understand the ten-year-old’s games. His mother abandoned him when he was very young and he is bullied at school. Just as news arrives that three children are missing, a new family moves in next door. Adrian develops a close relationship to their tomboyish, ten-year-old daughter Nicole and believes he is getting close to solving the mys- tery of the missing children. New Zealand forms the backdrop for this universal story for adults and those who have never wanted to grow up. It is a story about friendship and loneliness, emotions which Adrian already feels so poignantly as a child. The Danish first-time director’s expressive visual language dramatically merges water and air, reality and a hint of fantasy.
