Director: Dennis Todorovic, colour, 101 min., 2010
We are happy to invite you to the next installment of the ArtHouse Cinema program on Tuesday, November 28, 2017. This time we will screen the film called
Sascha directed by
Dennis Todorovic.
Life can be bloody complicated! Especially when you’re 19, feel you’re ‘somehow’ gay, come from a Montenegrin immigrant family and are madly and secretly in love with your piano teacher. A film about immigrants in a German big city, everyday family life in a multicultural neighbourhood and the difficulties of openly talking about sexual inclinations.
