Life Is About Losing Everything poster
NR

Life Is About Losing Everything is a hybrid documentary, equal parts feminist artist portrait and fantastical memoir, exploring loss and love through the lens of pop culture and art. Based on Canadian poet Lynn Crosbie’s memoir of the same name, the film follows multiple fictionalized incarnations of Crosbie as they embark on a delirious journey through the writer’s memories and imagination, encountering celebrity lookalikes, an inch-tall man, uncanny high schoolers, and a Zombie Sylvia Plath along the way. Drawing on a wealth of pop and literary references, Life Is About Losing Everything reflects on the role of art and storytelling in finding kinship and giving meaning to our lives.

Ivo works as a palliative home-care nurse. Every day, she visits families, couples and single people. They live in small flats and large houses. They all have different lives and deaths. They all have different ways of dealing with the time that remains. At home, Ivo’s teenage daughter has long since become independent. From morning to night, Ivo drives around in her old Skoda which she has made into her personal living space. Here, she eats her meals, works, sings, swears and dreams. One of her patients, Solveigh, has become a close friend. Ivo has also formed a relationship with Solveigh’s husband, Franz. Day after day, the two work together to care for Solveigh. And they sleep with each other. Solveigh’s strength is diminishing and she soon has to rely on support for the simplest tasks. She wants the final decision to be her own: she wants Ivo to help her die.

Freiheit ist das Einzigste, was zählt poster
NR

Today is the founding of the Reich! Preparations for the new Germany are underway, the table is set, and the mood is quite good. It's a significant day for the revolutionaries, who are performing the official establishment of the Reich in an old castle. A small group of sovereignists plans to finally overthrow the German government through violence. Under the codename "Hans," the leader (Bibiana Beglau) pushes her co-conspirators through the final preparations. They still need more new Reich citizens for the implementation, and what should be done with the countless prisoners that will exist after the revolution? In theory, everything sounded much easier, but just before the major coup, the modest question arises: Among those involved, who can actually kill?
