AMSTETTEN – LBS Amstetten Film Workshop on Children’s Rights 2025
THE CRAZY DREAM:
A boy finds himself in an increasingly threatening situation because of his family. Everything seems hopeless and oppressive. But not everything is as real as it seems. A short film about the line between nightmare and reality.
TOP BOY AMSTETTEN:
What starts as a few harmless teasing remarks quickly escalates into a conflict that spirals out of control. At the center of it all is a student who becomes a target because of his willingness to help—and suddenly finds himself caught in the middle.
