feature TEENAGE ANGST (2008)
was selected for the Berlin Film

HEART was nominated for the German Screenplay Award.
synopsis
Former Eastern German boxing champ Herbert has not been a winner in life since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Now a hard-up
bouncer and debt collector, he tries to revive the past by coaching his young boxing protégé, Eddy. After a training session, Herbert
suddenly collapses with spasms of pain; however, he initially chooses to ignore the signs. When his physical deficiencies become
more and more apparent, Herbert finally sees a specialist who ultimately diagnoses him with a fatal neural disease. With not
much time left, Herbert struggles with himself and the hard outer shell he‘s cultivated over time. Not many things really matter
to him apart from his ‘lost’ daughter Sandra, whom he abandoned when the family fell apart. Now a mother herself, Sandra is
still deeply hurt and afraid of allowing her dying father to be a part of her life again.
Student Academy Award® winner Thomas Stuber tells the touching story of a lone wolf who takes a long time to find the
meaning of his life.
