action

The conductor's daughter Eva falls madly in love with the heroin addict musician Jo Krämer. Her love is so great that she too becomes addicted to the drug. But the two want to get away from the devil's stuff. However, neither Eva's father nor her ex-boyfriend Tom Schäfer, who still loves her, are willing to support her financially. For the junkie couple, however, one thing is certain: They want to go to isolation from New Zealand and go through cold withdrawal , especially since Eva is pregnant. For that they urgently need money. Her plan: a robbery on a second-hand bookshop. Everything goes wrong: Jo is arrested, Eva can escape with a jump into the Regnitz .

Once Jo has been transferred to psychiatric hospital after attempting suicide , it will be easy for Eva to get him out of there as she thinks.

The end remains open.

background

The shooting under the working title Schwarzer Strand took place in November and December 2009 mainly in Bamberg and the surrounding area. For Geißendörfer only the World Heritage City came into question, as he explained in an interview with the Franconian Day : "It was shot here for Bamberg, the story doesn't work in Berlin , New York or London [...] If you go on cold withdrawal as a junkie , you have a chance in Berlin because you can remain anonymous. But if you are a junkie in Bamberg, there is a risk that you will always remain a junkie. "

Reviews

The Bamberg local newspaper Fränkischer Tag judged: “'In the world you are afraid' is a film about unshakable love, about unrequited love, about fatherly love and the normal chaos of two junkies who are on withdrawal - in the middle of the petty bourgeoisie Bamberg's idyll. A classic melodrama with a lot of pathos, great music and excellent actors. " Die Zeit writes in its online edition:" A good cast saves the film from yesterday's kitsch. "

The German Film and Media Evaluation FBW in Wiesbaden awarded the film the title valuable.
