CONTINUITY (41', Germany, 2012)
Director: OMER FAST

An intriguing view on the psychological process of mourning, the unsettling CONTINUITY is a bizarre story that boldly defies the conventional narrative coherence. What seems like a young soldier's return home from Afghanistan proves to be a ritual staged by his parents, who hire a series of male escorts to play the part of their son -- who had actually died in combat -- in a painful attempt to keep alive the memory of their deceased child. A touching tale about the difficulty to overcome the loss of loved ones, CONTINUITY is also an intelligent investigation on the complex relationship between fiction and reality, both in personal life and in cinema.
