Coxless Pair
Producer
The film tells the story of the friendship between Johann and Ludwig as they strive for the ultimate “buddy” relationship. Going beyond, well beyond, what would be considered good and healthy, the pair attempt to become the ideal twins, driving their relationship based on their partnership in competitive rowing (coxless pairs) to the ultimate, to perfect harmony in mind, word, thought and deed. But their symbiotic relationship is thrown out of balance: Ludwig strives to tighten the bonds ever closer, but Johann discovers happiness in the form of love for Ludwig’s sister, Vera. But because Ludwig hates her, the couple keep their relationship secret. But secrets have a way of coming out and Ludwig is wounded to the core. As the finals of the rowing competition draw closer, Ludwig has already set his sights on a greater goal: to preserve their friendship forever, no longer in life but in death.
Alone
Producer
Maria is a student at the university of Essen, Germany, living and working in a gray, unpleasant, and anonymous environment. While she has little problem finding someone for a one night stand, she rebuffs her lovers in such a rude way that they actually don't know what's going on. But what seems to be a negative attitude at first glance is in fact much worse: Maria is suffering from borderline syndrome, a serious psychotic disease that makes her fail to develop a continuous, reliable personality, from her own perspective as well as from the perspective of those she meets. Then one day, she bumps into Jan, a student who falls in love with her without delay. He's awaiting a hard time when he has to learn how hard it is to stay loyal and faithful to a person who, in her own words, "has a different world inside of her head" and who feels that "there is something inside of me that eats me up."
Intervenção Divina
Co-Producer
Você já imaginou uma ninja palestina? É com imagens cômicas como essa que "Intervenção Divina" desarma o conflito entre israelenses e palestinos. O filme retrata uma série de histórias engraçadas, sobre pessoas que parecem viver somente para destruir a paz alheia - como uma gangue de adolescentes palestinos que, por pura sacanagem, perseguem e apunhalam um Papai Noel ou de um homem que joga lixo na propriedade de sua vizinha. O próprio diretor Elia Suleiman interpreta um apaixonado palestino que tenta enganar de forma cômica o exército israelense para se encontrar às escondidas com sua amada. As situações são hilárias. "Intervenção Divina" faz você ver as desavenças da região por seu lado mais divertido!
