ABSENT
Deserved winner of this year’s much-coveted Best Feature Teddy Award at The Berlin Film Festival, Absent is a tense, erotically-charged thriller filled to the waterline with obsession and desire. Star swimmer at his secondary school for boys, Martin is obsessed with his swimming coach Sebastian. Sebastian rejects Martin's not so subtle advances, but it seems that his feelings for Martin are not so cut and dried.
The film takes a sinister twist as Martin schemes and plots to have his way with coach Sebastian and draws him into a deep, tangled web of manipulation. What at first seems innocent quickly takes a dangerous turn. Dark and brooding and exquisitely shot with powerful performances from the two leads, Absent is an extraordinarily moody and captivating psychological thriller with a twist.
