Deutschland 2024 – Director: Katharina Köster, Katrin Nemec – German orig. version w/English subt. – subsequ. Q&A w/directors, camera, editor – Length: 79 min.
The media call their son the “patient killer.” He was given a life sentence for his numerous crimes. Life goes on for his parents Ulla and Didi Högel but nothing is the same as before. They must accept the bitter truth, figure out how to cope with everyday life and reposition themselves in relation to their child. A compelling, precisely observed film about parenthood and love.
