Full Moon
Running time: N/A
Six-year-old Emmi Escher asks her mom, "Where's Toni?" Like many parents, however, Emmi's mother does not listen to her child until Toni never returns from school. In fact, Toni never even made it to school. Enter Inspector Anatole Wasser whose preliminary investigation turns up 11 other missing 10-year-olds who disappeared on the exact same day as Toni. Clues are insufficient. The only link between the children is their age and that each lives near a lake. The investigation at a dead end, police assure everyone they have plenty of leads in hopes that the kidnappers reveal themselves. No one emerges. The first clue arrives on the tenth day when all the parents receive the exact same letter from each child, giving the parents until the next full moon to meet some very cryptic demands. Winner of the "Grand Prix of the Americas" for Best Film at the Montreal World Film Festival, Fredi Murer's Full Moon is delivered with adept characters and haunting magical-realism. Full of intrigue, surrealism and genuine emotion, Murer's masterpiece offers a fresh look at the all-too-familiar aphorism, "nothing is as it seems."
