Common Ground

Nothing is more dry and boring than the fantasies of a locus communis — Karl Marx, Grundrisse

Common Ground — Plot

It tells the story of Dennis, whose musician brother Oli is missing. Dennis is not the only person looking for him. Oli’s ex-wife, the members of his band and the local moneylenders are all on the lookout for Oli too. And tramps have moved into Oli’s flat. With Oli nowhere to be found, Dennis inherits a whole set of problems that threaten both him and his family… Set against the backdrop of the contemporary economic crisis and the anti-government protests of late 2011, Common Ground is a neonoir film about family, identity, economics and the dream of utopia.
