Swans (2011)
A man travels to Berlin because his ex girlfriend is in a coma. He takes their son, Manuel. The father goes to the clinic often and Manuel feels out of place, so he prefers to ride his skateboard through the city in winter. The speechless and motionless body of the woman disturbs father and son, each one in his own way. The son faces the libidinous turbulences of becoming an adult, while the father suffers the physical discomforts of his age. A confrontation of different body images within an environment of emotional distance and the coldness of the city.
Directors: Hugo Vieira da Silva, Heidi Wilm.
