“The State I am in” (2000) is the first theatrical film of highly praised German director, Christian Petzold. It is the story of a fugitive couple and their teenage daughter, trying to elude the authorities in Portugal, when their existence is threatened and they must try to escape to Brazil. A very realistic portrayal of such a family, as they try to find a way to gather money for their escape, while the daughter ponders how she ended up living her life as a fugitive without friends or relatives, etc.
