Inhalt

"SLEEPING ROUGH was shot among a group of homeless men and women in Hamburg enter City after six months of ethnographic fieldwork. While the homeless are often perceived as outcasts of society, this film shows the construction of intricate social networks with alliances and sanctions not that much unlike those of the working and consuming public that occupies Hamburg’s central business district during daytime. The camera offers a privileged, often candid view of their daily routines and work as well as their leisure time which they spend socialising, drinking, and mocking each other on a public square equipped with a container for luggage. The group provides the matrix through which individuals in varying stages of liminality can find solace and support. Intimately and with sometimes disenchanted frankness the protagonists reflect on the circumstances of their situation between romance and tragedy, past disappointments and future ambitions."
