Pia Marais : 2007
Die Unerzogenen
Stevie, a wild but fiercely intelligent 14-year-old girl, must cope with the instabilities of her drop-out parents. Whilst they spend their days getting high, hooking up deals and escaping their responsibilities, Stevie takes control of her own life, making the journey towards maturity and independence that her parents ought to have made years ago. When they decide to move to a small provincial town in Germany, Stevie attempts to start a normal life, trying to make a good impression. But before long, she discovers that her parents have once more resorted to illegal means as a way of supporting their leisurely lifestyle. As friends and hangers-on of her parents fill their new home, the chaos starts to worsen. It is in this atmosphere of physical and emotional decay that Stevie must now start to define herself and perhaps even break free. An unflinching study of a child caught up in a complicated adult world, and the consequences of a counterculture gone bad.
