Nimm Dir Dein Leben
Take Your Life
"Take Your Life", which received the German National Screenplay Award for Thomas Wendrich in 2002, centers on 20-year-old Milan from the village of Dunkelhaeuser on the Polish-German border in Saxony. Milan, a rabbit-hunter and maker of home brew from potatoes, has been brought up without his mother by his tyrannical, alcoholic father in an isolated village peopled only with stubborn unworldly farmers. Into this eccentric world comes a lovesick Polish stranger whose mysterious death sets off a chain of events that rock the foundations of village life. Milan solves the mystery of the past and, using the power of love, manages to free himself from his father and the village...
