Known for the series Das bootdirector Matthias Glasner has chosen for his film, Awarded last year in Berlina story that takes three hours for Telling the emotional and conflicting nodes that hold together (and sometimes reject) a father, a mother and two children (the Tom conductor and the dental paramedical Ellen).

The inability to express one’s feelings seems to unite the two generations In a kind of “existential curse” that everyone faces as he can: by drunking her, taking care of the (not his) daughter of the former partner, while the two parents fight with a life that wants to leave (not surprisingly the original title is SterbenDie ).

A matter of melodrama that though The director-writer tells with a look he never wants to judge and with a good dose of irony (The scene in which the mother tries to remember if she had thrown Tom on the ground as a child because it was exasperated by her tears or if she had only slipped from the arms is from anthology), managing after each episode to have her non-hero find a reserve of energy that-all in all-makes them go on.

For those who want to deal with the difficulty of expressing their feelings.
