Aufrecht stehen

Directed by Hannah Schweier

A world in which no violins play in the sky when two people kiss. Johann Steiner, alias Joe, earns his living as a fall fruit fighter in boxing. For Joe, life is a personal war in which everyone is against him anyway. This changes when he meets Rosa one night during a fight. Although she is also one of the losers, she has a completely different view of things. She is brash and direct in her approach to the world, always on the lookout for the big moment. Attracted by her energy, Joe is always looking to get close to her. The city, which was desolate just a moment ago, becomes an adventure that challenges him.
