A funeral, a mystery dad, and zero coping skills — German cinema at its most unhinged.
Patrick feels absolutely lonely when he decides to search for his supposable genitor after the suicide of his mother. He doesn’t have a plan, a goal or hopes. He just wants to meet the phantom that he thinks is the reason for his mother’s death.
Acting
Tilman Strauss makes Patrick's emptiness weirdly magnetic.
Writing
Dialogue so dry it could start a fire.
Director
Sven Halfar
