Anka Sasnal & Wilhelm Sasnal : 2014
Parasite

An old, sick man who bears the scars of a life of factory work. A woman, alone apart from her small baby, who moves in with him. The day-to-day lives of the three of them, their cramped quarters and mutual dependency, thrown back on bare existence. The camera records and stages in equal measure: three bodies at the beginning of life, at its end and somewhere in between. Need, self-sacrifice, decline. And again and again, the inescapable necessity to eat. Along with the infant's cries, the only sounds to pierce their otherwise wordless life together are those of eating, together with the noises of their surrounding environment. Finally, a nocturnal foray out into life, a moment of great intimacy, of tender beauty, and a brief sense of release. Anka and Wilhelm Sasnal's third feature premiered in the Forum section at Berlin International Film Festival 2014, and screened at Gijón International Film Festival 2014.
