Stopped on track
Producer

Un hombre deja atrás a su mujer y a sus hijos, a sus padres, a sus amigos, a sus vecinos y a su antigua amante, a todos aquellos que formaron parte de su vida. Cada día es un pequeño adiós. Las palabras son cada vez menos comunes, el silencio se prolonga cada vez más. Ante la ventana, el año cambia de color. Morir, un último trabajo. Quedarse solo pero sin estar solo está bien, quizás.
Whisky & Vodka
Producer
En Whisky with Vodka, gracias al cual Andreas Dresen ganó el premio al mejor director en Karlovy Vary, un maduro actor se enfrenta a sus limitaciones durante el rodaje de una comedia. El guión es obra de Wolfgang Kohlhaase, que ya había trabajado con Dresen en 2005 en Verano en Berlín (premio al mejor guión en el Festival de San Sebastián). Como en aquella película, existe una cierta sensación de melancolía detrás de todo lo que pasa. Algunos de los temas que Dresen y Kohlhaase exploran en Whisky with Vodka, como el envejecimiento y la importancia de vivir el momento, ya que puede no volver a presentarse jamás, está en línea con una película con la que Dresen tuvo mucho éxito en Una Cierta Mirada de Cannes, En el séptimo cielo.
