Utan snö

De film Without Snow heeft zaterdag de  Prijs van de Jury voor Beste Europese Kortfilm gewonnen op het Internationaal Kortfilmfestival Leuven. Deze prent van Magnus von Horn speelt zich af tussen tieners op het Zweedse platteland:
"The first winter snow started falling on the 21st of December. That same night, a motocross gang of teenagers, in the age of sixteen, drove 4 kilometers to an isolated farmhouse outside a Swedish small-town. On the farm lived a 50-year-old man with his family. The 50-year-old man had previously stated that the motocross gang had, continuously harassed his family, and especially his 16 years old son. When the motocross gang arrived that night, the 50-year-old man felt endangered and ran out of his house armed with a shotgun. The man fired two rounds and called the police, stating that he had shot two boys in his garden. One boy died at the scene. The other boy was severely injured, but survived.
A couple of days earlier, the boy that survived, Linus, had fallen in love with his best friends girlfriend. He didn't know then, what result his sudden emotions of affection would provoke. He just knew that he had felt strangely empty for a long time and that this feeling maybe was about to end... Here our story begins."  (bron: website Magnus von Horn)
