"This is a work of a true poet, indeed a stunning, brilliant cinematic achievement.“ (Gordon Weaver, publicist). No Rules. No Limits. They meet to play the BIG GAME.
Year of production : 2003 Director(s) : Roland REBER Writer(s) : Roland REBER, Christoph BAUMANN Cast : Mira GITTNER, Marina Anna EICH, Christoph BAUMANN, Sabine KRAPPWEIS, Manfred GEBAUER Producer(s) : Patricia KOCH
Five young people go into a sealed off abandoned barrack to play the “Big Game” – a game aside any social norms or boundaries. “In the time outside you have been bent by social rules. Here in the Barracks of freedom there are no rules. If you need some, create them…” Each protagonist has his own game, his own version, to get advantage over the other : Jessie tries through sexual seduction, Anna through exercising power, Marcus by enacting rules, Tanja by keeping out of everything. Kai is the weakest link in the group and becomes everyone’s victim. Searching the „Big Game“ they embroil more and more into the interpersonal games and are slowly being drawn into the perfidious alcoves of their “inner spaces”. What began as a harmless game ends in a too real tragedy. • „ROLAND REBER : An institution in direction. To say that Roland Reber is an exceptional director would be describing him half-heartedly. For the man is himself a lesson to the entire fraternity of world cinema. “ (Hindustan Times)
