Sparta

Years ago, Ewald, who is in his mid-forties, moved to Romania. Now he dares to make a new start. He leaves his girlfriend and moves to an impoverished rural wasteland, where he and local boys convert a dilapidated school building into a fortress. There, the children discover a light-heartedness they never knew before, but the villagers' suspicions are not long in coming. And Ewald has to face a long suppressed truth. SPARTA by Ulrich Seidl tells of the inescapability of one's own past and of the pain of finding oneself.
