[FONT=&quot]" The Family keeps it all "[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]a shortfilm by Chris Caliman[/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]" Childhood was always a place full of danger, you seldom come off[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]unscathed. "[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Katharina Ohara, a writer[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Nothing is moving. Standstill. Deathly silence. One's heart of hearts looks[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]as if it's going to come out. Time has stopped and the suppression is always[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]looking for a way to ...[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The short-film " The Family keeps it all "[/FONT][FONT=&quot] throws an hopeless, exaggerated[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]and partly grotesque glance at the situation of "the family" in the upper[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]middle classes.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The intact - from the mother longed-for but arduously hold together - ideal[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]world breaks into its pieces when her fifteen years old son has placed an[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]obituary in the local newspaper. His parents neither note nor understand his[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]suptle cry of "help". So the disaster culminates in a conflict between[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]father and son, while the mother lonely fights a struggle against herself[/FONT][FONT=&quot].[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]It is a little, soft film about the loss of confidence, about honesty and[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]about a deep bubbling behind the outward appearance. A film about restrained[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]feelings, which however dominate each moment of the life and which let the[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]here and now to become insignificant, because you don't live any longer,[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]because you can't live that way any longer.[/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]The shortfilm was inspired by the photographer Gregory Crewdson[/FONT]

have fun
