FILM FESTIVAL SAARBRÜCKEN hinterbliebene the bereaved a short film by Alexander Pfeuffer SYNOPSIS: Suddenly he was gone. Dead. All that is left are deep conflicts, 18-year-old Paul had with his late father. Issues that he cannot solve anymore, now that he is dead. And then there is Lina, Paul’s little sister, whom he should take care of now. He ‘d rather have someone to look after him. Paul refuses to meet this responsibility. He flees from the small apartment, strives through Berlin and meets an elderly man, Dresen. An accomplished man, as it seems. Someone who might be able to take care of him. So Paul decides to join him. They spend the night together. Little by little old wounds open up – on both sides. Dresen happens to have lost someone, too. At a dilapidated industrial site in the outskirts, their secret mourning turns into rage. The situation is about to escalate... „’The Bereaved’ looks deeply into a teenager’s desperate search for consolation, into his grief and his fury. A haunting film about the battle for a father.“ Annette Hess, screenwriter “Love in Thoughts“ CAST: Maximilian Giertler Peter Prager Elisabeth Hess Susanne Rögner Thomas Scharff CREW: Writer / Producer / Director: Alexander Pfeuffer Cinematographer: Heiko Kalmbach Editor: Christian Fibikar INHALT: Auf einmal war er weg. Tot. Geblieben sind nur die Konflikte, die der 18-jährige Paul mit seinem Vater nicht mehr klären konnte. Und Lina, seine kleine Schwester, um die er sich jetzt nun kümmern soll. Dabei hätte er selbst gerne jemanden, der für ihn da ist. Paul will sich der Verantwortung nicht stellen. Er flieht aus der Enge der Wohnung, streunt durch Berlin und begegnet dem alten Dresen. Einem gemachten Mann, wie’s scheint. Und einer, der Paul jetzt auffangen könnte. Die beiden verbringen die Nacht miteinander. Nach und nach brechen alte Wunden auf - beiderseits. Denn auch Dresen hat jemanden verloren. Auf einem Industriegelände am Rande der Stadt kippt die Trauer der beiden schließlich um in Wut. Die Situation droht zu eskalieren...
