Hunting Scenes from Bavaria (Jagdszenen aus Niederbayern)
Scene from "Hunting Scenes from Bavaria" (photo courtesy of Filmmuseum Berlin/Stiftung Deutsche Kinemathek)
Barbara’s son Abram, a twenty-year-old mechanic, is homosexual. In the small Bavarian village where he lives this cannot be hidden for long. Wherever Abram goes, he is abused and driven away. At the beginning he takes it calmly, but when Hannelore tells everyone that she is pregnant with Abram’s child, the situation escalates. In a fit of rage, the young man strangles Hannelore and is consequently chased like an animal by the villagers.
