SUMMARY : March 1901, in a German port village, Laurin, aged about twelve, hears the cry for help, at nightfall, of a little boy whom she sees, from her window, being abducted by an adult. During the same night, Flora, Laurin's mother, sees the inert body of the little boy on a bridge and the face of his murderer; she is found dead in the morning, her body lying at the foot of the bridge. Since Laurin's father, a sailor, is often absent, the little girl, prey to strange visions, is now entrusted to her grandmother. She soon befriends a classmate, Stefan, who also disappears. A child killer is prowling around, and Laurin's curiosity puts her in great danger...

ABOUT THE FILM : For his first feature film, Robert Sigl has created a true masterpiece, a fantastical tale whose atmosphere evokes the stories of Perrault or the Brothers Grimm. Benefiting from sublime photography, Laurin summons through his images some of the great masters of painting, from John Constable to Caspar Friedrich, by way of Brueghel. Without resorting to special effects, the director favors atmosphere and mystery, with this nature seeming to conceal dangers and secrets, and this village under the influence of traditions and religion. Thirty years after its release, Laurin remains a unique, timeless and marvelous work.
