Synopsis
Roman Kogler is an orphan, juvenile murderer and daytime-release prisoner. His last hope of parole is to take the job at the mortuary. Life is a lonely motif between taboos; alienation is reconciled as captured in the imagery of breathing under water. The balance of his purposeless life is broken one day when Roman suspects one of the dead bodies is his mother who abandoned him. He begins his mother-searching journey which only ends in anti-drama. The veteran Austrian actor from Oscar-winning THE COUNTERFEITERS made a detour to directing his first movie. His artful use of sparse dialogue and compelling images of death and barrenness build up to articulate a young man's spiritual catharsis which is not stereotypically dramatic.故事簡介
他不是禮儀師，19歲的Roman是孤兒和在囚殺人犯，沒有親人朋友，最愛在獄中泳池底練習閉氣，彷彿與外界隔絕。一次機會讓他每天假釋外出，條件是在停屍間當免費勞工，把屍體打包搬上靈車。一天發現女屍名字跟生母一樣，觸發尋親衝動，繼而開始每天跟蹤生母。冰冷的監獄，陰森的殮房，灰爆的人生，今番母子重遇，會為Roman帶來什麽變化？憑《偽鈔風暴》勇奪最佳男主角的Karl Markovics首次執導，同樣得心應手，鏡頭盡現人性的沉鬱及絕望。新人Thomas Schubert初試啼聲讓人驚艷，演出好評如潮。DIRECTOR
