Reviews
“ Rich colors against black is a metaphor for life and death that makes you think about important aspects of our life: Who are we? What do we want from life? The ambivalence of the film characters in particular stimulates questioning. "
“German filmmakers have devoted themselves to the 'senior cinema' in different ways in recent years. Andreas Dresen crossed boundaries with a very open view of aged bodies, while Leander Haußmann chose the more mass-appropriate form of a comedy. Heldman has chosen a very calm approach. The camera work leaves space and time for the precise and nuanced play of the actors. The director successfully relies on the gentle conveyance of emotions. "
background
