Courtesy of Zeitgeist Filmproduktion FFM Totem has picked up international sales rights for “Oasis,” by writer-director Jannis Lenz, which has its world premiere in the Horizons competition section at the Venice Film Festival.
The film joins Totem’s sales slate as the company shifts its primary focus to production.
The film centers on a school where a viral video of a student threatening his classmates surfaces online, and the situation spirals into escalating violence. Crushed by the pressure of teachers and parents, three outcasts take refuge in a nearby forest. There, play hardens into ritual and pain becomes an escape, until old wounds surface and the boundaries between them are redrawn.
