| "Mercy" (Gnade) at the Scandinavian Film Festival L.A. |
Dir.
Matthias Glasner, Germany/Norway, 2012. 132 min. In German and
Norwegian with English Subtitles. Starring Juergen Vogel, Birgit
Minichmayr, Henry Stange, Ane Dahl Torp Polar night at the edge of the Arctic Sea – for two months the sun doesn’t rise above the horizon.
In a magical twilight, amidst snow and ice, a family of German expatriates hopes for a new beginning: Niels, Maria and son Markus.
But soon after they arrive, Niels and Maria sense that their new surroundings will not be able to save their withering relationship. Niels throws himself into his work as an engineer – and into an affair. Maria does overtime at the hospice, and Markus struggles with puberty and his new fellow students. But then one night a terrible accident occurs that changes everything.
The coldness in their hearts subsides and, miraculously, the tragedy becomes a turning point for all three family members: the secret shared by Maria and Niels forces them to confront their lives – and leads them on the path towards redemption and mercy.
“Mercy is beautifully shot and features sterling performances…”
