Athanasios Karanikolas : 2013
Sonar
A sonar is a device for electro-acoustic measurement of water depths. Measured is the time that elapses between the emission of a sound pulse and the arrival through the water of the ground-reflected sound waves. What is measured here is the emotional closeness and distance of a group of people who gather in a house in the country, a year after the suicide of their friend Franz. It's not unusual for extreme situations to lure people out of their shells. In this case, the suicide prompts them to switch off for a while. This weekend at least, these young people are no longer thinking about tomorrow. Instead, they surrender entirely to the moment and give their feelings free reign. They dance, love, argue, drink, go for walks, or take naps. But they also remember their dead friend, who is present in all their thoughts and conversations. The film premiered in the Forum section at Berlin International Film Festival 2013.
