FILMFEST HAMBURG zeigt Misericordia

In the organizer's words:

Come to FILMFEST HAMBURG and watch Misericordia

In his queer thriller, director Alain Guiraudie tells of repressed emotions and sexual desire with subversive humor. After ten years, 30-year-old Jérémie returns to his home village to attend the funeral of his former teacher, the baker Jean-Pierre. At the insistence of Martine, the widow of the deceased, he stays longer than planned. While Martine hopes that Jérémie will take over her husband's business, her son Vincent is anything but enthusiastic about his return. With every day and every encounter Jérémie has, new, old wounds open up - and when a person mysteriously disappears, his life and that of the village spiral completely out of control.

ALAIN GUIRAUDIE (*1964 in France) first worked as a novelist before turning to film. His thriller The Stranger by the Lake (2012) won the directing prize at the Cannes Film Festival. The story of Misericordia is taken from one of his novels.
