Gespenster - 2005 - 6/10
AKA - Ghosts or Fantasms
Troubled teenage girl, doing community service, watches an older girl beaten by two men.
The chance encounter leads to bonding - sort of.
The older girl is harder, manipulative and demanding. The younger girl had dreamed of the older one, and there is now a sense of wish fulfillment and projection.
Secondary plot follows a middle aged women, recently released from a medical institution, who searches for the child she lost over a decade earlier.
A girl who would be just about the same age as the young protagonist.
The movie, while filmed in hard light, has a dreamlike quality to it.
One could view any or all of the character comments or histories as real - or fantasies.
Likewise the characters themselves.
French / German production.
