DER FLECK

After escaping from boarding school on a hot summer day, Simon (17) suddenly finds himself on a riverbank together with a strange group of youths he can’t connect with. Only when Marie appears does he manage to escape the compulsive dynamics of the group and, together, they enter the timeless and in-between realm of the enchanted landscape of the nearby riparian forest. The film explores the boundaries between individuality and community by using associative images and mystical nature shots.
