One more movie who won a crystal bear and the best price for the first movie making at the Berlinale in 2013...

The Rocket

Story
Good-natured Ahlo has no idea of the tragic circumstances which surrounded his birth. His childhood seems to be ill-fated: when his family has to leave their village to make way for a dam, a terrible accident follows. Together with his father and grandmother, he is sent to a camp where he incurs the wrath of the other camp-dwellers. They soon make up their mind that Ahlo is cursed and brings bad luck. His only friend is Kia, who lives with her uncle Purple and knows all too well what it’s like to be an outcast. The group’s search for a new home leads them through the Laotian outback. Here, they come across a rocket festival that holds an entire village on tenterhooks. At last, Ahlo sees a chance to prove he is lucky rather than cursed and he takes part in the dangerous competition. The Rocket combines this boy’s moving story with a fascinating insight into living conditions in a country shaped by poverty and superstition.

My opinion:
This film opens a view into a completely different culture for us westerners. Here there are still values, tradition and faith far away from the capitalist world, which of course does not stop at Laos. With dirty deals, whole villages are resettled here too and the inhabitants are promised paradise.
In the midst of this world we experience the fate of Ahlo, who is accompanied by Kia in the course of the film. Together, the two want to fulfill an emotionally important wish for Ahlo, the construction of his own rocket to honor a deceased family member. To do this, the two embark on an impressive journey across the island of Laos. It is a dramatic, serious, emotional and at the same time humorous film.

Trailer:
