Drama | Movie | Philipp is rendering his civil-service in a home
for the aged. Meeting the inhabitants is a challenge and an enrichment
at the same time.
The two most important encounters are the ones with Julie and Anton. While Julie is facing old age with calm and modesty, Anton threatens to lose all his will to live in the face of constant thoughts about infirmity and death. The two old people share a tender friendship. As Julies health rapidly deteriorates and she cannot leave bed anymore, Anton's last support seems to vanish as well. Philipp and the young nurse Maya have a new challenge to face- not forgetting the problem of understanding their feelings for each other in the midst of such difficulties. |

One day Pascal, a young student searching for
something that holds against the currents of life, rescues a man from drowning
in the river; David.
Neither Pascal nor David are the same when they come out of the flowing waters. A strange kind of friendship comes into life between them, a friendship with no connection to the worlds they both live in. But while young Pascal is heading straight for a new way of looking at the world and living, there's much more at stake for 34-years-old David. It takes a while for him to realize just how much is at stake... |

| Kometen
Comets |
Drama | Short-Film | As comets we shoot past other people, situations,
possibilities all our lifes - and only the smallest part of them ever really
crosses our path. What can be a single, short moment's worth, if the time
and the world we live in are constantly escaping us?
"Comets" tells the story of one day in the life of Felix, and at the same time it tells the story of the same day in the life of Yvonne. Maybe this day will bring these two together for a long time - but maybe that won't even matter after their first encounter. |

| Kurze 60 Jahre
(Short 60 Years) |
Drama | Movie | Georg is 81. He's just survived a cordial attack.
Whether he wanted this delay of his death? No one asked.
Max is 18 and he's recovering from an accident. He asks a lot of questions, but usually, no one knows any answers to them. One could call it fate that the two are being placed in the same room in hospital. But Georg and Max are not happy. The stay in hospital is an unwanted delay for both of them: Georg is awaiting death, Max is curious for life. They learn, maybe not to like, but certainly to understand one another a bit better. Good enough even to decide the night before Max can go home, to break out of their room. There are some things they have to before Max leaves. At the end of this night, many problems and questions are still unsolved. But Georg and Max have learned this: they are only 60 short years apart. |
