action
Lena (16) feels more drawn to her brother Noah than is usual among siblings. She tries to distract herself with Noah's friend Enis. But the impossible love becomes an obsession. She gets lost in daydreams and soon lives more in her imaginations than in the real world. She finally makes it up to confess her love to her brother. But the latter rejects them in shock. A journey into the unknown begins for Lena.
background
Glaubberg is inspired by Thomas Imbach's biography, but is strongly fictionalized. It's about a love that is taboo in our society, about the sister's longing for her brother, which can only be lived as a delusion. In the film, Imbach concentrates on the time of adolescence, when this passion seeks fulfillment for the first time and has a thoroughly "healthy" origin.
Reviews
Björn Hayer, NZZ: "In a sophisticated narrative system, visually congenially implemented, the boundaries between reality and wishful thinking blur - only Lena's perspective and her thoughts carry this extraordinary work."
Sennhauser Filmblog: "Glaubberg is a real Imbach, unique and artistic, uncompromisingly beautiful and tragic at the same time."
Cinema time: "A remarkably fear-free film, a highlight in Locarno 2018."
