THE DISPENSABLES
synopsis
Childhood days are history for 10-year-old Jakob. His father Juergen and mother Silke are out of work and have long since surrendered to their alcohol problems. Violence and heated arguments alternate in the family with tender moments. Grandma Rosemarie is the only one who seems to give the family’s chaotic life a certain grounding. And then there’s Hannah, Jakob’s girlfriend from a well-to-do family, who remains loyal to Jakob despite her parent’s lack of understanding and the mobbing from her fellow pupils.
