Landscape in the Mist

15

Bent on finding their anonymous father, a mythical figure tarnished by uncertainty, innocent eleven-year-old Voula and her wide-eyed five-year-old brother Alexandros summon up the courage to run away from home. As the inexperienced companions embark on a long, peril-laden quest to reunite with the long-lost parent in far-off Germany.

Against the backdrop of bustling railway stations and the grey, rain-soaked winter landscapes of the harsh Greek province, the face of reality, sometimes heart-warming and sometimes utterly appalling, begins to take shape.

Bleak Week: Cinema of Despair is presented in partnership with the American Cinematheque and Prince Charles Cinema.
