World Premiere: Rotterdam IFF - Tiger Competition
Winner of the First Look Award, Locarno 2022
Anxiety, humor and poignancy resonate across generational and any other borders in this amazingly accomplished and inventive debut by Lukas Nathrath.
In the standstill of the pandemic summer, a young couple wants a fresh start, moving from Hanover to Berlin. Lisa is an on-the-rise doctor bracing herself for a new position, Clemens is a talented but unsuccessful singer-songwriter crippled by self-doubts. To say goodbye, they host a dinner party in their now empty flat. But good friends cancel — and uninvited guests show up. As the attendees start eying each other's achievements, the evening slowly escalates, leading to an emotional crash that uncovers misunderstandings, rivalries, animosities and anxieties.
