劇介
馬康多是維也納錫默靈區的難民營,收容了來自22個不同國家、約三千名尋求庇護的難民。本片為伊朗裔德國導演伊朗蘇達貝莫特扎首部執導作品,描述11歲車臣難民Ramasan盡力照顧寡母和妹妹的故事。某天,一個陌生人出現,自稱是Ramasan已故父親的朋友,矛盾的情感令他不知所措,他的生活發生了翻天覆地的變化。
導演避開維也納如詩如畫的觀光風景,將鏡頭固定在小男孩身上,隨著他穿梭在難民營的單調景色中,彷彿這裡是一個無人區。他害怕在附近樹林裡徘徊的狼,但對於遇到的大人疑心更重。本片導演拍攝紀錄片出身,特別擅長以寫實方式從旁觀察,劇情本身似乎不受劇本框架的限制,讓非專業演員能夠像在現實生活中一樣移動自如。
《馬康多男孩》不把重點放在社會或政治評論,而是溫柔地刻畫一個喪父男孩,如何在充滿敵意的異國他鄉成為一個男人。本片在柏林影展首映。

Synopsis
Macondo, a refugee camp in the Simmerging district of Vienna, houses about 3,000 asylum-seekers from 22 different countries. German-born Iranian director Sudabeh Mortezai’s debut fiction feature focuses on Ramasan, an 11-year-old Chechen refugee, who does his best to take care of his widowed mother and his younger sisters. When a stranger turns up, saying he is a friend of Ramasan’s late father, conflicting feelings overwhelm the boy, and his life is turned upside down.
Avoiding touristy or picturesque views of Vienna, Mortezai fixes her camera on the little boy as he wanders among the drab prefab structures of the refugee camp as if it were a no man’s land – fearful of the wolves that perhaps linger in the nearby woods, but even more suspicious of the adults he encounters. The director’s documentary background is clear from her realist, fly-on-the-wall approach to the story, whose almost unscripted feel allows the non-professional actors to breathe and move as in real life.
Rather than providing any explicit social or political commentary, ‘Macondo’ is a beautiful, sensitive portrait of a fatherless boy who tries to understand what it means to become a man in a foreign, hostile environment. The film had its premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival.
