ELLEN AND ALAN

Jörn Michaely | DEU, GBR | 2016 | 16 Min.

Block II | Samstag 15:45 – 17:20 Uhr

Die Zwillinge Ellen und Alan werden seit ihrer Kindheit von ihrer Mutter vernachlässigt. Diese arbeitet als Journalistin durchgehend in ihrem Arbeitszimmer. Um ihre Aufmerksamkeit zu erlangen, will sich Alan das Leben nehmen. Ellen wendet sich in ihrer Hilflosigkeit mehrmals an ihre Mutter, jedoch zeigt diese kein Interesse und widmet sich ausnahmslos ihrer Arbeit.

 

The twins Ellen and Alan have been neglected by their mother since childhood. She works throughout as a journalist in her home office. To get her attention, Alan wants to take his own life. In her helplessness, Ellen turns several times to her mother, but she shows no interest and is devoted to her work without exception.
