Museumswärter (Museum guard)

What does a museum guard do when he thinks no one is watching? He stands around; stays stoically at his post; is motionless, silent. A static take, a barren space, a character, an incredible voice - a moving snapshot. A minimalist action film that celebrates the little things - filled with charm, emotion, and beauty. (Michelle Koch - Diagonale 2017)
