action
The disappearance of the young Eva plunges an entire village community into disaster. The Catholic priest Simon Bress suddenly stands before the ruins of his faith. Thomas Reitz, local police officer and father of the victim, comes to the brink of resilience when he investigates his daughter on his own. The relationship with his wife Christiane breaks down due to the lack of a daughter, whose existence alone has kept the fragile family structure together. The pastor, like his brother Christoph and his niece Katharina, becomes more and more entangled in a crime in whose vortex of guilt and violence two families threaten to drown ...
The context
Socially and critically, this drama illuminates the human abyss. LAMENTO questions blind devotion and obedience. A small community that has created a set of rules based on supposed values and norms from religion and an apparent ethic breaks down on this and is symbolic of a contemporary society that largely identifies itself through double standards and hypocrisy.
backgrounds
The film LAMENTO is based on an idea by Daniel Hedfeld and René Sydow. LAMENTO was produced by Ulrike Lettermann (Greedy Me Productions) and Ruben Silberling (BigBearFilm). Together with the production managers Verena Stiller and Viola Tellmann and the production managers Philipp Wittmann and Reza Samiei, they submitted the film as a thesis for their studies and received top marks.
