action

13-year-old Phillip disappears without a trace. Only after a week does the boy appear again without a word. His single mother Astrid and the teachers can only speculate about what exactly brought Phillip to this. The death of the father is seen as a possible cause. Yet his behavior remains a mystery to everyone. Phillips' environment is confronted with existential questions that change the whole view of life. After Phillip's return, Astrid looks at her bourgeois life, her work in Berlin's cultural scene from a different perspective, and also questions her previous conception of art. It's harder for her to come to terms with the fact that Phillip has a life of his own. When her son is hospitalized with blood poisoning , Astrid begins to lose her nerve. But Phillip and his little sister still stick to her.

reception

The film received 2.3 out of four possible stars in the international reviews of the British trade magazine Screen International and, together with the Italian contribution Paranza - The Clan of Children, took 8th place among all 16 Berlinale competition films . Emin Alpers A Story of Three Sisters and Nadav Lapid's Synonymes (3.0 each) topped the ranking.

During this time , Wenke Husmann goes into the staging as the theme of the film, and thus in Schanelec's way of undermining the realistic staging.
