Your best friend falls. You hold the rope. Now what?
Tom and Mark are a close-knit rope team. While Mark dreams of Nanga Parbat, Tom furnishes the new house with his girlfriend Franziska. Tom has a serious accident on a particularly challenging route. Not only do Tom and Franziska have to rethink their life plans, but Mark also has to face a new reality. A story about friendship, guilt and responsibility.
Acting
Brückner's silent guilt is devastating without dialogue.
Cinematography
Vertical shots that actually induce vertigo. Respect.
Director
Florian Froschmayer
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
German 'Bergfilm' tradition meets disability cinema; surprisingly rare honest portrayal of caregiver burnout in male friendships.
Director Froschmayer consulted actual paragliding accident survivors—the house renovation metaphors were their suggestion, not his.
