Islands in the City
2021
Documentary / Drama / Romance / Comedy
23 min
German
A soft-apocalyptic rom-com featuring sunsets and sweets.
Like ghosts, the temporarily shut down cruise ships lie in the port of Hamburg. A young man comes into town and is stranded on the riverbank, waiting for a message. He watches couples strolling along in the sunset and gets himself some sweets. In a moment of collective pause, ISLANDS IN THE CITY captures a fragile romance. There is a departure in the air, the destination of which no one seems to know.
