Following her separation from Ben, the 28-year-old Rebecca is staying with friends in a flat-share. As to why the relationship broke down, she doesn\u2019t exactly know. Nor does she really understand what is going on between her and Philipp, whom she gets to know in the at-share. She is restless and hasn\u2019t been able to sleep for a while. Rebecca lets herself drift, has one-night stands and roams the streets of the big city. Rebecca goes to see her father almost every day. He lives in a nursing home and is not responsive anymore, but she gets the impression that at least he is aware of her. She reads to him, feeds him or sings and dances for him \u2013 and finds some rest as a result. When Rebecca\u2018s father dies, she is forced to move on and find a new place where she can calm down and finally sleep again.<\/p>\n
The jury’s statement:
\n\u00bbRebecca is in a bad way. Recently separated from Ben, she ends up one Berlin summer night with friends in a flat-share. Only with her father, a dementia sufferer who lives in a nursing home, does the 28-year-old find any kind of stability and feeling safe. Thanks to its unusual closeness, the camera allows us emotional ties to Rebecca. With a simple and beautiful visual language and with her use of resolution and light settings, Bine\u2019s support for this subtle portrait of a multifaceted woman is impressive. She has a talent for unfolding the beauty and presence of the actors and actresses on the big screen.\u00ab<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":20132,"template":"","movie_year":[47],"movie_genre":[569],"movie_cat":[348],"festival":[565],"class_list":["post-11249","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-47","movie_genre-kurzspielfilm-en","movie_cat-national-competition-for-women-directors-of-photography-en-2014","festival-2014-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
