Night of Passage

Three friends from Tehran are dropped off by their smuggler near the Austrian border. They have to spend the night in the Slovakian forests until the next truck picks them up. The prospect of a new future drives the three of them on despite the harrowing journey. Over the course of the night, the group is confronted with a drastic twist of fate.

A Wave Standing Still

Lost in thought in the midsummer heat, Georg suddenly has only one goal. To make his huge, overgrown garden beautiful again at the weekend. But as he spends his days alone in the house he once shared with his ex-wife Sieglinde, who comes to visit at the end of the weekend, he has to deal not only with the garden, but also with absurd visits, memories, nosy neighbours and himself.
