Reviews

“Jan Fehse, a seasoned cameraman ( Alaska.de ) , has made a debut film that is technically almost perfect: narrated in a strongly elliptical manner, an extremely coherent score in the style of David Lynch composer Angelo Badalamenti, a sophisticated, atmospheric, very moving camera by Philipp Kirsamer and actors, all top-class people who manage not to leave their characters to a superordinate fatalism. Therefore Fehse could very well have done without the tragic final chord. The message - risk what! - would have arrived that way! "

- Rainer Tittelbach - tittelbach.tv

“Episodically arranged first film, which tells its stories in a well-crafted manner, but does not find any dramaturgical escalation. The people and their problems also leave them untouched, which is partly due to the meaningful script and a staging that lacks a certain lightness. "

“Dramas that life writes: With this episode film, cameraman Jan Fehse (...) makes his debut as a director. But despite the remarkable ensemble of actors, the tragic events ripple away, hardly culminate in high points, leave the viewer strangely cold. Here it would have been better to tell just one of the many stories. "
