Die Feinen Unterschiede, dir. Sylvie Michel, 2012, Germany ****
Her directorial debut features the story of a divorced man with the custody of his two teenage kids. One weekend, they decide to go out to a concert and take the maid's daughter with them. This is where the movie gets interesting. It shows how cultural differences affect our everyday activities. The maid, who comes from Bulgaria, starts to worry when her daughter does not show up the following day after the concert. She blames the man's kids and the way he has raised them. Here we see two ways of thinking and two distinct approaches to raising your children. Those little diferences are what make this movie unique.
