Following a party in Karsten’s flat, everyone goes home – except Anna. Karsten feels drawn towards the mysterious young woman. An unexpected event and a moment of weakness change everything, and Karsten loses control of his well-ordered life in a small town in Germany. Tensions in the family and in his circle of friends follow. His attempt to live life as if nothing has happened fails. Disappointment breeds rage and injustice, calamity takes its course and, just as Karsten thinks he has his life under control again, he has become a different person. Berlin writer and director Aslı Özge prefixes her film with a quote from Shakespeare’s ‘Hamlet’: “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” The film’s unassuming, carefully composed, well-lit images and fitting sound design creates tension which allows the audience to sense the growing unease and looming disaster. Questions of guilt and morality, justice and hypocrisy are addressed.

[1] Artistic vision versus commercial interests? The Panorama defines its mission as building bridges. Here, the target audience explicitly includes film buyers.
In the Panorama programme one finds new films by renowned directors, debut films and new discoveries. The selection of films provides insight on new directions in art house cinema. Traditionally, Auteur Films – movies with an individual signature – form the heart of the programme.
All films in Panorama celebrate their world or European premiere. At press conferences and audience discussions after the screenings, journalists and moviegoers get a chance to exchange views and discuss the films with directors, producers and actors.
[2] Born in Istanbul in Turkey in 1975, Asli Özge has lived in Berlin since 2000. Her feature debut MEN ON THE BRIDGE screened in Locarno and Toronto and won Best Film awards at festivals in Istanbul, Adana, Ankara and London. It screened at around 40 festivals across the world and secured an international cinema release. LIFELONG is her second feature film. FILMOGRAFIE
