WELCOME TO BAVARIA
Germania / 2012 / 11 min / Colour
In the idyllic mountains of Bavaria, the borders are closed to impede the entry of clandestine immigrants from Africa. Even Bernie, a young agent guarding his post on top of the mountains, is forced to lower the bar and make sure that the immigrants don’t cross the frontier illegally. But one evening an unexpected encounter makes him quit his agent’s role and leads him to behave in a truly unconventional way.
