Steadiness
Ein Reisefilm, der keiner ist – Oma, Opa und die erwachsenen Enkelkinder on the road. Was als launiger Film über das Unterwegssein beginnt, entwickelt sich zur zunehmend aufreibenden Studie über zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen. Keine Postkartenmotive, sondern die ungeschönten familiären Querelen stehen im Fokus der unmittelbaren Handkamera. Simmering – Nordkap – Simmering: Urlaub als Selbsterfahrung. (Diagonale)
A relationship in the summer of its 47th year, a man and a woman travel to North Cape. By car. Driving for the sake of driving, not to reach a destination. They listen to hits, the same CD over and over again. And are filmed by their granddaughter. Sausages brought from home and ferry crossings by night, handstands in a hotel room and a Santa Claus village, Swedish landscapes, and Norwegian rain. An endless driving around in circles accompanied by cryptic and confusing directions from the GPS. The closer they get to reaching their destination, the less important it becomes. No longer a film about the difficulties of a long drive but one about the difficulties of a long life together.
