Do You Believe in Angels, Mr. Drowak?

Description

The cheerful student Lena firmly believes in happiness and the good in people. As part of a social project, she is sent by the office as a writing coach to Hugo Drowak, who has long lost his happiness and lives bitterly alone in a dilapidated high-rise. Once, he passionately wrote love poems until a disappointment drove him into alcohol and isolation. Despite his notorious meanness, Lena does not give up on inspiring him for the creative process. Between distance and closeness, a silent duel for dignity, trust, and second chances unfolds. Reluctantly, Drowak begins to write about the love of his life, awakening the demons of his past.
The Walliser director Nicolas Steiner translates mental states into black-and-white images full of surreal ideas and dark humor. (German)
