Sparta

Years ago, Ewald (Georg Friedrich), who is in his mid-forties, moved to Romania. Now he dares to make a new start. He leaves his girlfriend and moves to the impoverished rural wasteland, where he and local boys convert a dilapidated school building into a fortress. There, the children discover a light-heartedness they never knew before, but the villagers' suspicions are not long in coming. And Ewald has to face a long-repressed truth. SPARTA is the brother play to RIMINI and the completion of Ulrich Seidl's diptych about the inescapability of one's own past and the pain of finding oneself.
