Having won a Silver Lion in Venice for his 2001 short film Friends, Jan Krüger is undoubtedly a next-generation talent. In “Rückenwind,” he tells a magically gentle, dreamy story. Two boys on a bike ride through deserted Brandenburg find themselves innocently lost in nature – life as a post-emancipatory, poetic children’s birthday party. The laconic romanticism of young Germans, and the longing for it, is at the heart of this film.
