IONAS DREAMS OF RAIN

Dragoș Hanciu | Rumänien 2017 | 28 Min. | OmeU

Ein Film über die Bedeutung von Zeit und Vergänglichkeit. Wir begegnen Ionaș, einem alten rumänischen Bauern, der die Sommernächte damit verbringt, sein Maisfeld gegen die ausgehungerten Wildschweine zu schützen. Während der langen, meist einsamen Stunden und den rhythmischen Kanonenschlägen zur Wildschweinabwehr bleibt viel Zeit für Gedanken, Erinnerungen und die Beschäftigung mit seinen Träumen und Ängsten.
