Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The title 'Halbdrei' (2:30 AM) references a uniquely German late-hour concept—neither night nor morning, perfect for liminal romance.
Schmid shot this as his film school graduation project; it won at Oberhausen and launched a wave of micro-budget German relationship studies.
