Balance

A dreamlike, uneasy short that drifts between tenderness and wartime dread, asking you to read its symbols rather than follow a plot.

Directed by

Fredi M. Murer

Overview

A young man is balancing on a rope. A young woman with a pistol appers. In the middle of war noise, they won’t to bury him, when he suddenly awakes… A very early short from Murer and a key study for his later (and phantastic!!!) film “Pazifik – oder die Zufriedenen”. It’s a poetic aproach, which mixes up passion, love and fear of war.

How it feels

Eerie, melancholic, tense and romantic. Slow-burning and needs your attention.

About

War, love, fate, death

Content

Mild violence and gore. No sexual content or swearing.
