Auswege

Nina Kusturica's graduation film is almost 20 years old and - unfortunately - as topical as ever: Based on the screenplay by Barbara Albert, AUSWEGE tells the story of three women who come from different age groups, social classes and cultures, but whose lives are equally characterised by domestic violence. The film shows how these women slowly try to free themselves from the family hell. "AUSWEGE attempts to trace (and break) the vicious circle in which victims and perpetrators find themselves so inextricably bound to one another: Records from the shadow world we call reality."
