Logline
Simply dying it is not. It is not easy to die.
Juliane's mother is only 64 years old. She is seriously ill and lives in a nursing home. Now she wants to die and stops eating and drinking. Juliane accompanies her mother through this process. Friends and acquaintances come to visit. They say goodbye. Juliane too, very slowly. Dying takes time, but it is quite peaceful, sometimes provocative. The outcome is already certain. Her mother will soon be gone, while Juliane's life goes on. She wants to help her mother, yet she knows she cannot take the dying away from her. Days turn into weeks. Daughter and mother are infinitely close, physically and spiritually. Until something separates them: the longed-for death.

Presse

»Out of all nominees it was the most headstrong, the weirdest, and most courageous film. It is awkward and very impressive.« Fritzi Haberlandt, member of the jury Young German Cinema Award 2008

»Never before has the German back country been so strange, bizarre, and at the same time so honest and close as in Müller’s exciting debut. A narrative walk on a tight-rope between caring documentation and arresting narrative cinema.« Oldenburg International Film Festival

»The most controversial film in competition.« Süddeutsche Zeitung

»Hard-hitting drama.« VARIETY

»A homevideo of a different kind, provoking and with artistic ambition.« Blickpunkt Film

»Like a Saarland-Version of Harmony Korine’s Gummo ... a compelling portait of post-proletarian condition.« TIP Berlin
