A prestige drama produced through the co-operation of several European countries. Several languages are spoken. French title: “La chambre de Mariana”
Based on Aharon Appelfeld’s Hebrew-language masterpiece, “Blooms of Darkness,” it is the story of a Jewish boy who avoids the war by hiding in a closet within a prostitute’s room in a brothel. 1943, Chernovitz. Fleeing deportation, Yulia entrusts her son Hugo, 11, to a childhood friend, Mariana, who prostitutes herself in a brothel. Locked away in the small closet of Mariana’s bedroom, his existence hangs on the noises and scenes he hears through the walls. with imagination as his only resource, Hugo becomes aware of both the massacres taking place and the mysteries of sexuality. When day breaks, Mariana invites him into her room, wrapping him in softness and voluptuousness.
Still a banger after 25 years of nudes.
