Project Detail

The Black Forest

Synopsis

Two families go on holiday to Germany together. Whilst the children are lost in their own world of innocence and discovery, secrets between the two adult couples begin to unravel.
Both a love letter to Europe, and a study of a peculiarly British dysfunctionality, the film captures a golden summer of innocent childhood alongside the little tragedies of adulthood that define modern life.
