SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film is the personal story of three generations: the (late) grandmother, the father and the daughter, who is directing the film. It focuses on the trans-generational transfer of traumatic experiences. It’s a spiritual road movie through deep and diffuse layers of feelings resulting from historical transformations in north-eastern Europe.
\u201cBased on the premise that unresolved experiences and traumas are infused and inherited from one generation to the next, Children Below Deck<\/em> follows a poignant and complicated process of reconciliation between director Bettina Henkel and her father and, subsequently, both their coming to grips with the memory of his mother. From accusations of a lack of love to an exceedingly overbearing nature, he seems to be consumed by a vindictive interest in scrutinizing his mother\u2019s past, in exposing her secrets. Moments of honesty and of direct confrontation exorcise family grudges, and the inquiry into the grandmother\u2019s past strengthens the bond between father and daughter. The family chronicle leaves room, at the same time, for an investigative process set against the two world wars, the population movements and the status of Baltic Germans. Children Below Deck<\/em> is a film with a distinct personal touch, taking stock of what can and can\u2019t be forgiven of those who are no longer with us, of what can be retrospectively justified.\u201d (Teodora Leu, One World Romania)<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
