Festival

Home Sweet Home

FromAnnika Mayer

Year2023

Duration68min.

Rose and Rolf in the still young FRG: he, 13 years older and a war veteran, she accepts his marriage proposal and drops out of school. With her granddaughter and the director Annika Mayer, Rose watches Super 8 family films from the 1950s to the 1970s: the sons in short leather trousers, their own home with a front garden, Dad coming home from work, Mum cooking. Rose does not recognise herself in these ideal images of the economic miracle. The young, pretty woman seems strange to her.
Annika begins to ask questions and goes with Rose in search of clues about the domestic violence in her marriage that is not visible in the films. Rose's stories make the experience tangible. What abysses lurk behind Rolf's smile? Slowly, the idyll becomes deceptive.
