The Boy is Gone
Film cycle: Father & Son
Kortrijk 1969. The young son of a German-speaking family from Flanders and future filmmaker, Christoph Bohn, finds a photo of his father in Nazi uniform... A painful discovery that leads him to trace his paternal roots. This heartfelt work openly tackles a little-known history: that of the East Cantons. Skilful animation interspersed amongst archive footage and interviews.
