Silver Forest by Christine Repond,  CH 2011,  85 min,  DCP
German with English subtitles

The final exam and the summer have long passed, still no apprenticeship or at least a girlfriend. Sascha hangs out with his mates, enjoys committing little offences and plays shooter games. An occasional job makes him discover his love for the forest. On a gotcha-hunt trough endless snow covered trees Sascha discovers a Nazi-meeting place. Their ostentative masculinity mesmerises him ...

Christine Repond‘s debut feature is a sensitive, intellegently staged portrait of adolescent disorientiation, love of experiment and seducibility, that foregoes over-dramatisation and simple explanation patterns.
