Sehnsucht (Longing)
2005 · Movie · 88 min. · Germany
A small paradise near Berlin with a population of two hundred and a comfortable life, enjoyable and simple. Markus and his wife live there, they have been together forever, they have a son and a perfect relationship. He works in a steel factory and spends his free time working as a volunteer fireman; she is a housewife and sing in the parish choir. There is a celebration dinner party and the firemen meet up in the centre of Berlin, they drink, dance, sing, drink some more and in the morning, disoriented and in female company, Markus opens his eyes. There is something called desire which leads into chaos and from there, to expulsion from paradise.
