This is the story of Anouk, a woman in her late thirties, a literary translator from Stuttgart who meets Heiner, an architect in his forties, by chance in Berlin. They arrange to meet, spontaneously, desirous of a new life. The stakes are high: either their current existences, seeming ly anchored in two marriages, or a joint future of great love which could start this very night. They share a night of love and lust in a hotel room. They fight with and for each other. In unconditional trust they open up to each other and swap intimacies about their lives. Their time together is short but intense. Co-writer, together with Dagmar Leupold, and director Fred Breinersdorfer worked as a lawyer for seventeen years before his first novel (crime, of course) was published in 1980. There followed more novels, short stories and plays as well as scripts. He became a prolific writer of Tatort TV movies and, since 2003, has been producing, with various partners, films he has written. He now makes his directorial debut with Zwischen Heute und Morgen. “Zwischen Heute und Morgen is,” Breinersdorfer says, “a story of love and common sense, desire and distance; the really important things in life. This is a moving film about the ebb and flow of love, the story of one long night.” Breinersdorfer, it should be noted, has won Grimme, Bavarian and German Film Awards, and been nominated for the European Film Award, culminating with an Academy Award nomination (Best Foreign Language Film) for Sophie Scholl – Die letzten Tage. Peter Lohmeyer, an actor equally at home across all genres and a marquee name in Germany, can boast an excellent body of critical and commercial success with films such as Das Wunder von Bern, Cowgirl, Playa del Futuro, Oktoberfest, Vineta and Frueher oder Spaeter. Gesine Cukrowski’s credits include Lieben und Toeten, Die weisse Robbe, Annas Alptraum and, most recently, Der Kriminalist. Here, she makes a remarkable debut in a German theatrical feature. Producer Frank Doehmann, who heads Nostro Film (together with Hans Joachim Mendig), has a CV which includes some of the finest names in the German film and TV biz – Studio Hamburg Produktion, Colonia Media, ZDF, ARTE, ORF, Columbia-Tristar, RTL and SAT.1 So run down that checklist of ingredients again: writer, director, producer, actors, they’re all in place in Zwischen Heute und Morgen. german films quarterly in production 2 · 2008 40 SK
