​

LOGLINE
After breaking up, a young couple decides to spend another 24 hours together to say goodbye with dignity. Easier said than done.

​

INFO
The main story was shot in 24 hours, with a crew of 6 people. Instead of a script, I worked with a dramaturgical outline, task cards and a planned tour through Berlin. Most of the dialogue is improvised.
 

Letting go of many “securities” and mutual trust have created space for unexpected energy and creativity. What a ride!
