63rd San Sebastian International Film Festival (September 18 to 26):
Loosely based on a true story Stephan Richter’s first feature focuses on two teenagers who try to break out of their
bleak and monotonous life in a suburban wasteland. They will pay dearly! The Golden Girls production One Of Us (Einer von uns) will premiere in San Sebastián’s New Directors Competition.
ONE OF US (Einer von uns)
directed by Stephan Richter (Golden Girls Filmproduktion)
A huge supermarket is the only social meeting point for the inhabitants of an industrialized suburban in Austria. This is
also where Julian, a lively 14-year-old, meets the misfit Marko, 16. One night, brimming with youthful enthusiasm, they
break into the supermarket. It is a brief moment of freedom, that leads to Julian's death in a long aisle full of products.
The film is inspired by a true story.
