Beyond Volcanoes

In an apartment block on the edge of a working-class settlement in Rhineland, an 8-year-old has been suffering for years from his parents' intensifying marital crisis, reacting with withdrawal and a variety of behavioral anomalies. During an escalation of the crisis with short-term separation, a fun-loving aunt begins to take increased care of the little one. She invites him to visit her in Hamburg and takes him to the volcanic island of Lanzarote. An adventurous time for the boy, while the smoldering marital crisis of his parents is escalating further. Alexander Mores tells an intense but also humorous story of a child who is at the mercy of changeful family dynamics, who tries to live on between the extremes, and who must find his own individual happiness in the end.
