Cast: Michael Gempart, Leander Lichti

I went to see the movie without any expectations, during the Montreal World Film Festival. What can someone expect from a young director, with a young crew, right? What I found out surprised me, and my friends whom I brought back with me to see the movie for themselves. The finesse, the depth of each line, the lightness of small gestures, combined with an impeccable camera technique, gave a wonderful result. Among all the young creators and participants in this movie, the director Stefan Westerwelle definitely knew how to attract the spectator into the show! Michael Gempart does a great part, down to the smallest detail. His role is more of a meditation, a spoken one... Leander Lichti also plays with easiness a character that is quite difficult to portray. The pair reflects very well the incongruence of two ages. My only regret with regard to the movie is that it didn't get any prize at the festival in Montreal. I can't wait for the DVD to come out!

German cinema is famous for its historical depth, expressionist aesthetics, and social-political engagement. It has moved from Expressionism to political reckoning, from New German Cinema's raw realism to contemporary genre experiments. Its legacy lies in both technical innovation and deep explorations of history, morality, and philosophy.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
