OUR FATHER

A young woman (Karina Margareta Syndicus) is raped after someone put narcotics into her drink and is refused at catholic hospitals because of the birth abortion pill. Questions of substantial matter arise, lit by the feeling of loneliness and the process of slowly losing her mind . No one can find answers for her - she'll have to do it on her own. Turning from victim to offender. From believer to doubter. From angel to demon.

Director Statement

This was a project we had to do with no budget at all. Okay, it was 500 € for costumes etc, but that was it.
So we got out there and just did it.
The idea originally came up right after the actual event happened and went through the press all over Germany. We wanted to fictionize what actually happened while keeping close and true to the feelings the lady must have gone through.
We also tried to mirror the puzzle, one has to solve after a blackout and rape via the film's montage and storytelling.
