Director Statement

The beginning was an image: a man, drifting in water like a piece of wood, in the hopes of getting washed ashore somewhere. The fear of making a false move and thereby losing everything has paralyzed him, standstill has become his survival strategy. Jonas is symptom of a society of lone fighters that has little room for failure. The more we retract ourselves, the more we subject even our private life to neo-liberal thinking, the more we lose empathy and the ability to love.
