I don’t care doesn’t count

A crash course in politics: Paulina is the spokeswoman of an initiative, committed to preventing hard-right populists getting elected into the German House of Parliament. But Paulina has her own internal struggles. Although fired by commitment and a sense of mission, she is lost in a political maze, trying to juggle the very different demands of message and marketing, of dialogue and didactics and her private and public lives.

Der Kuss des Honigdachses (The Kiss of the Honeybadger)

Die zur Epidemie gewordene Angst fordert ihre Tribute: Menschen schweben davon, bis sie sich buchstäblich in Luft auflösen, ein Pharmakonzern bereichert sich am allgemeinen Leid, ein ungleiches Komissaren-Professoren-Duo tappt meist im Dunkeln, das kleinkriminelle Brüderpaar Widu&Rémi streitet sich unentwegt und der einzigen immunen Person der Welt ist nicht alles, aber schon die großen Fragen ziemlich egal. „DER KUSS DES HONIGDACHSES“ zeigt eine Welt, in der Gleichgültigkeit und Waghalsigkeit nur einen Weltuntergang von einander entfernt sind.

Two Young Men Shooting a Video

In the middle of the night two German teenagers are shooting home videos on their webcam. As they film themselves dancing, undressing and putting on new and matching outfits slowly a more disturbing intention is revealed. Through the distant and yet intimate eye of their webcam we observe as they argue over fashion and awkwardly discuss politics, biology, great men and punishing all those they consider below their standards for humanity.

News 23/06/2016 – Zeit der Unruhe

It’s the 23rd of June 2016. In the UK, a critical referendum is well underway, and across the Atlantic, an ominous American presidential campaign is gathering force. In Sweden, news broadcasting is carrying on as usual. In Germany, however, an identical, yet distorted, news broadcast is simultaneously being constructed by the citizens themselves. In the height of the Berlin summer, the Zeit der Unruhe starts to unfold.

Decay

A woman pays a visit to her old boyfriend. After a romantic evening together she finds make-up from another woman in the bathroom. Angrily she bites him in the penis. He throws her out, and she positions herself outside of his apartment. She breaks in and burns her hand on a platter to get his attention again.
