Format

Inspired through the work of con- temporary Austrian writer Michael Köhlmeier, particularly his narrative Sunrise (1994), early thoughts evolved around the premise of three chapters unfolding into one tale – a heightened reality. Revealing a time in the life of the characters, where they feel intense emotions.

The core image of two vastly different individuals in a crisis arose. Both captivated upon their innocence and a shared sense of sorrow and agony, which led to a series of unfortunate events throughout their lives.

Through a writing process of several months, the concept evolved to a much greater extent than initially intended, reaching feature length.

Due to a lack financial resources and time constraints, it was decided to re-construct the plot, visualising the first chapter only, therefore al- lowing the picture to become more distinctive and self-contained.

The entire story has been outlined and is currently in process of being adapted into a screenplay.

Behind the Scenes

Premiere

"We wish to share our experience - to reach, transport and inspire other people. The cultural medium of film allows us to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS, due to an absence of knowledge and regard. As well as the ongoing stigma and cruel discrimination towards the people who carry the virus."
