Pingpong

Writer and director Matthias Luthardt makes his solid debut with this nuanced drama about a troubled teen who appears uninvited at the home of his uncle and his family. Aware of Paul's troubled past which involves his father's suicide and distant mother, the family welcomes him where he spends few happy days before he shakes up the balance of the ideal family. Superb performances and confident film making makes this German a stand out. YRFilms coverage of films on DVD.
