DER SPATZ IM KAMIN

In the organizer's words:

Karen lives with her husband Markus and their children in her idyllic family home. Karen's sister Jule also arrives with her family for Markus' birthday. The two women could not be more different. Dark memories of their deceased mother intensify Jule's urge to rebel against her domineering sister. As the house increasingly fills with life and a sparrow in the chimney seeks its way to freedom, Karen's tension rises - until everything comes to a head and the old is destroyed to make room for the new.

After the multiple award-winning festival hits "The Strange Kitten" and "The Girl and the Spider", the Swiss twin brothers Ramon and Silvan Zürcher also tell of human coexistence in their third film - the conclusion of the "Animal Trilogy" - in their very own way. At times powerful enough to take your breath away, at others poetically sensitive and humorous, and with a brilliant cast, "The Sparrow in the Fireplace" delves into the abysmal cosmos of a family and ignites a blazing fire of awakening between hidden longings and secrets.
