Description

In A Visit to the Country of Boys I want to get closer to those who were presented to me as monsters in my childhood and youth and to whom I felt consciously and unconsciously inferior – the men. I want to make a film about men – about what they are like, what makes them tick, what drives them. But also about how I approach them. What behaviors I put on them, how I react to them. For this I return as a filmmaker to southern Burgenland, to a landscape where I met my husband and spent a few years of my life. The men of my “research area” have taken a liking to me – in their mixture of provinciality, worldliness, sensitivity and hard-headedness. A film about a dialogue, about approaching each other.
