Nobody Calls My Parents Losers

NEW DOCS

Johannes was first placed in an orphanage when he was 14 days old, because both of his parents required institutionalized mental care. Told in telling close-ups and matter-of-fact brevity, Johannes’ coming of age between the orphanage he still calls home and the parents that are both there and absent, Nobody Calls My Parents Losers reveals a kid strong beyond his years and as fragile as his age would imply.  RR
