"Shall I stay or shall I go?" This question makes young people in East Pomerania sway between departure and attachment to their homeland, pragmatism and diffuse longings. MID SEASON follows 4 trainees in the hotel business on an island that is disintegrating into a booming, touristy coastal strip with shiny facades and a desolate hinterland. Just as their place of work, the hotel, is a transitory place, so the young people are in a transitory phase of life.
Synopsis
»Bleiben oder Gehen?« Diese Frage lässt Jugendliche in Ostvorpommern schwanken zwischen Aufbruch und Heimatverbundenheit, zwischen Pragmatismus und diffusen Sehnsüchten. Sie leben in einem Land, das zerfällt in einen touristischen Küstenstreifen mit Hochglanzfassade und ein verödendes, langsam ausblutendes Hinterland. ZWISCHENSAISON lässt vier Auszubildende als ProtagonistInnen auftreten, setzt sie in einer visuell inszenierten Form in Bezug zu ihren Lebensräumen und stellt die Frage: Wohin ins Leben aufbrechen an einem Ort, der gezeichnet ist von auseinanderdriftenden gesellschaftlichen Verhältnissen.
