January, 14th 1996:
On a Sunday like any other Sunday in 1996,
actually an ordinary Sunday in a small town,
two gys meet their friends at the square in their neighbourhood.
But this Sunday will end differently than any other.
Out of boredom comes a bet. The stakes? A human life...
Seven Days Sunday is the graduation film by the novice director
and author Niels Laupert. Sixteen days of shotting resulted in a fictional
reconstruction of a gruesome deed he read about in the newspaper.
In 1996 two 16-year-old kids murdered a man and wounded another victim.
After their deed they did not show any remorse and both claimed to be the
main culprit. They were sentenced to 25 years in jail.
