“And then?” – “Then I killed him. Stabbed him to death.” Korinna Krauss is talking to Recep Soylou, a man who was imprisoned in Germany for 14 years for a double murder and then deported to Turkey where he has since run a bakery together with his parents.
The film’s dispassionate response to its protagonists and their naïve openness makes it all the more oppressive. The monstrousness of what is being discussed is fragmented and thrown into contrast by small absurd everyday stories of the father and son in their bakery.
A man and his deed. Intense and disturbing. A thriller. Ysabel Fantou

Diagnosis: stroke. What happens when a relationship is hit by such misfortune? How do things change and how do people cope? Marie Elisa Scheidt lets the healthy partners have their say and offers an insight into the challenges that arise from this medical condition. Different perspectives and levels of narrative are combined in an essay format. A puzzle of perception. Touching and striking. Ysabel Fantou

The violinist, Irmgard Hitzig, is 89 and can’t sit up straight in her armchair any more. Nonetheless her passion for music is fierce and she approaches her work as a music teacher with an unrelenting vigour. Uisenma Borchu’s depiction of this very special woman emerges from their dialogue and interaction. This is not a classic portrait, rather the record of an encounter. The director engages respectfully and empathetically with her protagonist and so begins to search for music in her own life. A sensitive and intelligent film about a remarkable woman, which, at the same time, tells a moving story of a burgeoning friendship in the twilight of life. Ysabel Fantou
