content

Guido is 17 and has neurodermatitis . When he is hospitalized after a severe episode, he begins to question his life and realizes that his apparently ideal family world is built on lies. Without further ado he decides to move into his brother's flat share, where he meets the day laborer Rudi. Through him, the young Guido experiences the advantages of a self-determined life and feels better and better in health. But when Guido's mother falls while intoxicated, the initial high in the sand seems to disperse.

background

Neandertal premiered in 2006, and was shown again on April 24, 2008. The film was shown at the Hof Film Festival. The film title is symbolic and refers to the animal fur clothing of people (“thin skin”) from the Neanderthal. In the background of the plot, the simultaneous path to German unity and the 1990 soccer World Cup are discussed.
