Vielmachglas

Directed by Florian Ross

Produced by Pantaleon Films, Barefoot Films

A melancholic coming-of-age road trip where a grieving young woman escapes family pressure and loss through solitary wandering, balancing dark introspection with tentative self-discovery.

Marleen is in her early 20s, works in a movie theater, still lives at home and is somehow aimless. Her parents torment her with questions about her future and her brother is a high-flyer who has already traveled halfway around the world. When a tragic accident plunges her into sheer endless grief, Marleen just wants to get away. Equipped with the bare essentials, she sets off on a journey into the unknown.
