One of the line up of the festival is the film of Marco Berger’s Ausente (Absent).
The film won the Teddy Award last february. This film is on the competition for the feature length film.
The film is about Martin, a 16 year old student who partitipated in the swimming class of the school. He had an eye to his professor. At the end of the day he makes excuses only his desire to go home with his professor. At the end as Martin lied about nobody was home and no one to sleep that night, finally his professor invited him to stay over night at his house.

The film’s burden on the character is about the student on how is is capable to do make decision to be with the adult at the risk of the Student-Professor relationship.
