9 LEBEN
(9 Lives)
Maria Speth,
D 2010
"9 LIVES portrays some young people who left home as teenagers to live in the streets of Berlin. Maria Speth doesn't show them in the street, she films them in the neutral set of a studio where the black and white reveals their faces, their gestures and expressions, as each one of them tells his life story. A very powerful and original documentary on youth." IndieLisboa
