20 x In-Season Double Passes for ‘Lore’, courtesy of Transmission Filmshttp://www.filmink.com.au/giveaways/568/Score tickets to Cate Shortland’s long-awaited and deeply moving sophomore effort.
Australian filmmaker Cate Shortland’s long-awaited follow-up to 2004’s acclaimed drama Somersault, is another lyrical and deeply touching work. The story unfolds in Germany in the spring of 1945. As the German resistance collapses and Allied forces sweep across the Motherland, five children embark on a journey which will challenge every notion we have of family, love and friendship.
With their Nazi father and mother imprisoned by Allied forces, abandoned to an uncertain fate, Lore (played by stunning newcomer Saskia Rosendahl) takes charge of her younger brothers and sister, guiding them from Bavaria across a devastated country, towards the safety of their grandmother’s house 900km away to the north. On the road, the children struggle to survive the punishing post-war conditions as Lore begins to understand the consequences of her Nazi parents’ actions.
