A conversation in german with director Pia Marais about her debut film THE DISOBEDIENT (german title: DIE UNERZOGENEN), together with Actress Céci Chuh.

SYNOPSIS
Stevie (Céci Chuh), a precocious 14-year-old girl must cope with the instabilities of her immoderate parents. When they decide to move to a small provincial town in Germany, Stevie attempts to slip into a normal life. Whilst her parents playfully escape their responsibilities, Stevie tries to make a good impression in town, spreading stories of grandeur and claiming to be the daughter of a diplomat. She makes progress. Yet the good weather doesn’t last and before long, she discovers that her parents have once more resorted to illegal means, as a way of supporting their leisurely lifestyle. As friends and hangers-on of her parents fill their new home, the chaos continually mounts. It is in this atmosphere of physical and emotional destruction, that Stevie must now take a decision.

AWARD
The film premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam where it won the Tiger Award for the best debut.
