Giant

64th San Sebastian International Film Festival Special Jury Prize winner. The strangest and most inspiring surreal sports movie, from emerging Swedish director John Nieho, creates a modern fable about finding your own strength and belonging. A lonely man with a deformed appearance takes "petanque" as a challenge for self-realization and bravely faces the cruelty of reality and his own fragility. A man with an unspeakable lonely soul imprisoned in a deformed body lives alone in a care center. He has been separated from his mother since birth. He has no choice but to place his thoughts on his mother in his favorite game of pétanque. He joined a local amateur team and practiced shooting in a small room all day long. He stubbornly believed that if he could win the "Nordic Cup Bowl Competition", he would be reunited with his mother. However, bowling is an arduous battle. He suffers a double blow from a weak body and whispers of discrimination. At this time, a 50-foot-tall mysterious giant appears as his strong backing, leading him to stride across the unbearable scenery of life and overlook the world. The director blended realistic scenes with majestic and gorgeous fantasy. In addition to aerial shots of the magnificent Swedish national parks to create a surreal scene, the "Nordic Bowl Competition" in the film also invited more than 300 extras to recreate a real sports event. The movie is desolate and sad
