THOMAS DER HOCHSPRINGER
THOMAS THE HIGH JUMPER
An adolescent boy lives together with his mom in a sports camp. His only encounter with the outside world is through sports. His life is characterized by emotionless discipline and skewed social rules. The absurd ambition to make her son an athlete leads the mother to the narcissist trainer Frank. His alternative training methods, which include psychological power games, shake up the importance of routines and the authority of mother‘s control regiment starts to fade.
