Rubens Dreams

One day Rubens dreamt of painting pure feminity to captureit eternally. And here they are, two Rubens Ladies, two wonderful women, speaking with disarming honesty about their hopes, asking the questions which every woman contemplates: Am I beatiful? What are my sexual expectations? Will I find true love? A bit funny, a bit painful - a short story about hope, which manifests itself in the end in the form of a fiery salsa motion.

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.

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.
