Die Mitte der Welt
A strange family: 17-year-old Phil lives with his mother and twin sister in an old mansion on the outskirts of town. When he returns from summer camp, the mood in the mansion has soured somehow. Phil doesn’t worry about it, hanging out with his best friend Kat instead. When he starts to feel attracted to a mysterious new student at school, Phil is plunged into emotional turmoil only exacerbated by the trouble at home.

**Brave and authentic** What does cinema mean to you? To me it means emotions and stories, told with moving images, with music and with words.

Its is the story of Phil, a standard teenager, who is just a little gayer than the rest. But him being gay…

This was an all right movie, the acting was fine but they told a lot through flashbacks and there were times when they would just flash random images on the screen. For me it made the movie a little less enjoyable.
