SUNNY

19-year-old Hajo wrestles with caring for his 6-month-old son and finding both work and his role of being a father. Hajo has a plan, but it will put his infant son in danger.

This Dardennes-like short was director Barbara Ott’s graduation project, and went on to win the German Short Film Award among its slew of film festival prizes. Following a young man struggling with the demands of adulthood and fatherhood, Sunny marries neorealist drama to nerve-jangling suspense.
