Germany at War 2012

Directed by Alexandre Koberidze

In the 21st century, fairy tales have ambiguous endings. A great love that the whole city talked about — between a Bundeswehr soldier of unheard-of beauty and the fastest bicycle courier in town — becomes impossible because of her service in Afghanistan. A sad, yet not hopeless story about impossible love in times of war — and about a city where everyone knows everything and the façades of the houses are especially beautiful on Sundays.
