The Austrian town of Ebensee became infamous in 2009 when local teenagers disturbed the annual memorial service in the former concentration camp with soft air guns and Nazi paroles. 'And there We Are, in the Middle' follows the life of three teenagers in Ebensee over the course of a year.—Anonymous
Andi plays the electric guitar and is mad about guns. Michi hopes his Doc Martens show the right political stance. Ramona is looking for an apprenticeship and has her heart set on a lip piercing. These three 15 year olds live in Ebensee, a village in Austria where in 2009 the annual memorial ceremony at the former concentration camp was disrupted by a group of youths with air rifles. Combining beautifully shot moments from the teenagers's day to day lives over the course of a year and statements from them and their parents about the treatment of the Nazi period, the film also outlines what sensitivities the official culture of remembrance is met with. And not just in Ebensee. by Birgit Kohler, Berlinale Forum—Anonymous
