The Photographer

Twenty-Year old Mike is beginning his apprenticeship with the photographer, an aging man who has lost all belief in his work and the possibility to document special moments on film. Confronted with Mike´s open and unprepossesed perception of the world surrounding him, the teaching relationship slowly begins to change. One night, at a gallery opening, this growing tension releases in a confrontation with a woman that has attracted the attention of both of the men.

Waldgeist

From a playground opposite a dark, mystical forest, a young girl peers between the trees in search of the spirit of her recently deceased mother. Feeling a sudden force of attraction, she wanders out alone hoping to find solace. Within, she communicates with the surrounding nature while slowly bringing it to life. She exceeds the borders of reality, making her way into the supernatural. Deep into the forest she finds comfort in an old tree, and by laying down next to it, she feels the warmth of her mother.

Moving Off

Two people on the way to somewhere. A long car ride, it doesn't matter where. What does it mean when something ends? What does it mean to love? A short observation of a relationship. His restlessness in the morning, the aggression she suppresses, constantly missing each other. Two people who love each other but can't live with one another. A love that's suffering. An up and down between being close and not being able to stand each other, or to keep another.
