Dreileben is the name of a trilogy of loosely linked television films by the three directors Christian Petzold , Dominik Graf and Christoph Hochhäusler . The three commissioned by the ARD films produced were within the Special Screenings at the Forum of the 61st Berlinale premiere on 16 February 2011 and the first time in succession on 29 August 2011 at the First aired.

concept

Based on a reciprocal e-mail between the directors Petzold, Graf and Hochhäusler on the subject of “ Berlin School ” in the summer of 2006, the idea arose two years later to continue the theoretical discussion with a joint film project. Three films should be linked by places, characters, the same time and the same events, but otherwise they should be free from the other films and each should be designed by a director.

They agreed on a specific framework: a summer, a place, a criminal case once as a foreground, twice as a background.

action

In order to be able to say goodbye to his deceased foster mother, the convicted sex offender Molesch is brought to a forest hospital in Thuringia. Due to an inattention on the part of Johannes, who is doing community service, the offender manages to escape from the clinic. Molesch's escape and the search for him in the woods of Dreileben, a fictional town near Suhl , is told in all three films. However, the films describe this framework from different perspectives.

Dreileben - something better than death

The film tells of the love story between Johannes, a community service worker, and the Bosnian maid Ana. When Johannes at a party of the clinic chief physician Dr. Threesome with his daughter Sarah dances, the jealous Ana lets the love idyll burst. Johannes now decides to study in Berlin together with Sarah. While Johannes and Sarah are on their way to Berlin, Ana meets Molesch, who has fled.

Dreileben - don't follow me

The police psychologist Jo is supposed to contribute to the apprehension of the sex offender Molesch. Since the hotel is fully booked, she lives with her old friend Vera and her husband Bruno. It turns out that Vera and Jo used to be in love with the same man. The thought of the two women is interrupted when Molesch suddenly appears in the garden.

Dreileben - one minute of darkness

The only real crime film is the third film. It documents the escape of Molesch, who is holed up in the dense forest and is looking for something to eat in the undergrowth, as well as the investigations of the criminalist Marcus Kreil, who is on leave.

Molesch's conviction for the murder of a young woman in Dreileben took place in a circumstantial trial . Since the surveillance video that incriminated him shows “a minute of darkness” at the time of the crime, so that his crime has not been proven, Kreil does not believe that Molesch is the murderer. In the course of the plot he finally finds the real culprit.

For Molesch, the escape is now a journey into his own past. He finds out that his mother, who had fled the GDR , had to give him up for adoption. After Molesch set fire to the house of his deceased foster mother by burning the documents about his past, he escapes with a kitchen knife. The film ends with Molesch, armed with a knife, facing the chambermaid Ana.

production

Each of the three films was produced on behalf of another ARD station. The part Something Better Than Death was commissioned by Bayerischer Rundfunk , the part Come to me not after the ARD subsidiary Degeto Film and the part Eine Minute Dunkel from Westdeutsche Rundfunk .

The shooting took place for Something Better Than Death from August 30 to October 4, 2010, for Don't Follow Me from September 21 to October 25, 2010 and for One Minute of Darkness from August 19 to September 28, 2010. The film was shot in the area around Oberhof and at the Lütschetalsperre , also in Suhl , Schmalkalden , Tambach-Dietharz , Mühlberg , Frankenhain and Rohr in Thuringia and Berlin . The fictional Thuringian town of Dreileben has nothing in common with the Dreileben district of the city of Wanzleben-Börde.
