Director: Lena Stahl
With: Anke Engelke, Jonas Dassler, Hannah Herzsprung
Love and loss are in close proximity in Lena Stahl's debut feature about a teenager and his mother who go on a trip together after nearly losing each other. The tragicomic and moving story stars Jonas Dassler, Germany's young film star (known for Fatih Akin's THE GOLDEN GLOVE and Lars Kraume's THE SILENT REVOLUTION, among others) as Jason, the reckless son of photographer Marlene, played by Anke Engelke, a renowned German presenter and comedian. After a serious skateboarding accident, Marlene decides to take her son's fate into her own hands and drive him from Berlin to a specialized rehabilitation clinic in Switzerland. During the long journey across Germany, long-ignored conflicts and painful memories begin to resurface, and Marlene must accept Jason's desire to lead a freer and more independent life...

Réalisation : Lena Stahl
Avec : Anke Engelke, Jonas Dassler, Hannah Herzsprung
Le premier long métrage de Lena Stahl raconte l'histoire d'un adolescent et de sa mère qui partent ensemble en voyage après avoir failli se perdre. L'histoire tragicomique et émouvante met en scène Jonas Dassler, la jeune star du cinéma d'Allemagne (connu entre autre de DER GOLDENE HANDSCHUH de Fatih Akin et DAS SCHWEIGENDE KLASSENZIMMER de Lars Kraume) dans le rôle de Jason, fils téméraire de la photographe Marlene, incarné par Anke Engelke, grande modératrice et comédienne allemande.
Après un accident de skateboard grave, Marlene décide de prendre le destin de son fils en main et de l'amener, en voiture, de Berlin dans une clinique de réhabilitation spécialisée en Suisse. En traversant l'Allemagne, des conflits ignorés depuis longtemps et des souvenirs douloureux commencent à remonter à la surface et Marlene doit accepter le désir de Jason de mener une vie plus libre et indépendante...
