Der Nebelläufer

The story follows Michi, who struggles to cope with the unexplained death of his father, leading to a suicide attempt. His mother sends him to a Catholic boarding school, where he faces strict rules and isolation. Michi's journey is supported by two significant figures in his life: Lorenz, a drug-addicted priest, and Marenka, a kitchen assistant. Their relationships help him navigate the difficult transition into adulthood, marked by themes of love, loss, and resilience.

As a drama, Der Nebelläufer appeals to collectors interested in films that tackle profound emotional subjects. The combination of a young protagonist dealing with grief and the backdrop of a boarding school setting creates a unique narrative. The performances by Barbara Magdalena Ahren, Roeland Wiesnekker, Andrea Zogg, and Ralph Gassmann add depth to this poignant exploration of adolescence.
