Director Biography:
Marco Berger, born in Buenos Aires, gained international success with his first short film THE WATCH, which competed in Cannes and Sundance. His first feature PLAN B was well received by critics and became quickly a cult film in the queer niche. ABSENT premiered at Berlin Intl. Film Festival and won the prestigious “Teddy Award”. HAWAII is Berger’s third feature film.
Director Statement:
I wanted to work with social boundaries framed in a love story, as classic tale of classes but from a contemporary perspective. I was wondering about the dynamics of the relationship between someone in a comfortable position in life and someone that is helpless, portraying the cruel game the society proposes and how both sides deal with it. I continued to work from a personal point of view by using two men as the lead characters.
