March is an Austrian feature film from 2008. The script and direction for this film drama are from Austrian writer Händl Klaus , who also produced the film together with coop99 .
action
The film begins with the farewell suicide of three young men who are friends in a village in Tyrol . Three months later, the film traces the way in which the relatives cope with their grief .
When a delegation from the local brass band played for a grieving mother's birthday, she stood with her husband and mother smiling in front of the house. Life goes on. But with it the feelings of guilt, powerlessness and questions without answers. If it slips out linguistically, a reproach: He killed me with him .
background
The story is based on a true story - a triple “suicide” that occurred in South Tyrol about 15 years earlier. In reality, however, these were workers - in the film they became students. Händl Klaus experienced the tragedy indirectly through a friend from that village who knew the young people from his school days.
The film received production funding from BMUKK , Filmfonds Wien , Land Tirol, Cinetirol , City of Innsbruck and Tourism Association Axams . The film is distributed by the Stadtkino -Filmverleih.
