LOVELY RITA

by Jessica Hausner

Drama | AUT, GER | 2001 | 80 min

SYNOPSIS​

Rita is an outsider, in her family as well as in her class and her teenage life. 15 years old, lonely and searching for acceptance and sympathy: she tries to flirt with two years younger Felix– and makes love with a bus chauffer in a toilet. Trying to get more popular in her class she more and more often skips class. The police catches her, she sees her father’s gun on the kitchen table – and acts. Things just happen. The last image – Rita looks into the camera – is nothing than a big question.
