Borrowed White

BORROWED WHITE
(GER: Geborgtes Weiss)

A farmhouse on a hill – it used to be imposing, but now its paint is peeling. But nonetheless it points to wealthy landlords – not owing to money, but rather academic excellence, one could assume. Not showing off social status, but inheriting it. Rudolf’s (62) cave, in which Marta (44) and Nathan (5) live, has become their home. The academic loves his family, which unexpectedly ran into his arms. The three of them are an intimate team. Until Valmir (28) bursts their bubble.
Valmir’s German is bad, his sweater is ratty, his t-shirt too big. The Albanian seasonal worker doesn’t speak much. And yet he is very direct and demanding – knowing that others took what they wanted as well…

A neo-noir film about past sins and the yearning for change.
