BR SHORT
FILMNIGHT

Six short films revolve around the theme of loneliness. In COWBOY, a young man finds himself in the arms of a businesswoman who actually ordered a male escort. In KIPPENSCHNIPPEN, KREUZENDE LINIEN, LANG LEBE DER FISCHFRIEDHOF, and EINEN METER ENTFERNT, lonely hearts find each other in special situations. In MY MIRROR, an Indian woman experiences attention for the first time due to a surprising social media success. Further information about the films can be found below.

 

On the night of March 13th, the Bayerische Rundfunk will broadcast this short film program on BR Fernsehen. Afterward, the films will be available for two years on ardmediathek.de/br.

With skepticism and toughness, Carina fights against everything just to escape the constriction of life, into which she seems unfit. This includes her struggle against Nikolas, who appears to be just as lonely and lost as she is—until they realize how similar they truly are.
