SELECTED PROJECTS
FEATURE-LENGTH
Für immer Sonntag (My Old Man)
Welcome to the golden years! Rudy has worked all his life for the company and his family, but now everything is about to change: Rudy is retiring. No alarm clock, no meetings, no business trips set the rhythm anymore. Shopping, cooking, gardening and everyday married life define his new routine. Rudy had looked forward to this – to the time after. But he soon realises that life in the so-called best years is an emotional rollercoaster. Retirement is not for the faint-hearted.
