It is a known fact that most German films set in Germany appear highly realistic as German filmmakers prefer shooting on locations known to them.This is something which applies to films set in big German cities such as Berlin,Hamburg,Hannover etc.As far as films set in German provinces are concerned,one can always expect to see a fairly honest account of German provincial life.It is by keeping this aim in his mind that Marcus H. Rosenmüller has created some very good views of provincial life in his film "Grave Decisions".His film is set in a small Bavarian district where people know each other well.They are always together to eat,drink and enjoy their lives.It is in their midst that we see a naughty kid who is carrying a heavy burden of guilt.He leads viewers to confront some of the most basic issues of daily lives which mean a lot such as companionship,loneliness, motherhood.Some traces of Indian religious life can also be found in this film as Marcus H. Rosenmüller spent time in India to make his early films.
