Thomas Sieben : 2013
The Dam
Roman has just finished school, moved into his first flat, and enrolled at university. Just when life is about to really take off for him, he loses direction. His lack of motivation scares away his girlfriend. He retreats into his dreary flat. And his only job is temping for an abusive lawyer. For hours on end he scans files about an unsolved case. A massacre at a high school committed by a student a year ago. But there are missing files, so his boss sends him into the village where the attack took place to collect more documents from the local police. Once there he meets Laura, a survivor of the mass murder, who becomes his guide into the fragile world of the traumatised village. Becoming more acquainted with Laura, Roman also becomes more interested in the tragic event. However, he begins to realise that Laura is hiding a secret and that she is more involved in the incident than she has revealed. Slowly, Roman learns the true extent of the massacre. Thomas Sieben's second feature premiered at Oldenburg Film Festival 2013.
