It is summer and it is hot. Ice cream drips from its cone, a father photographs his child. Then a man suddenly arrests his focus. Inspired by a picture from photographer Juan Medina, taken on the beach of Gran Tarajal in Spain in 2006, director Ronny Trocker animates a situation that happened today as it did yesterday, with the difference that today, no one moves. Time is frozen. A black man lies exhausted on the shore. It seems that no one has noticed his arrival.

提名威尼斯电影节地平线单元最佳影片的《隐居者》于10月12日登陆德国院线。这部导演处女作展现了阿尔卑斯高山农场里远离喧嚣城市的生活图景：由于担心儿子因山区的寂寞而崩溃，母亲向儿子阿尔伯特隐瞒其父亲的离世，以防止后者放弃工作并返回农场。然而，当母亲最终请求援助且真相大白时，现已爱上一名匈牙利客籍女工的阿尔伯特必须决定自己未来的生活方式。在科技发展全面决定且飞速改变我们日常的时代，对自然的思念和重返往昔的渴望也随之增长。影片则以完全去浪漫的方式有力地描述了一个濒临消失的世界。（小易甫字幕组）
