Lenz
The filmmaker Lenz has left his native Berlin for the Vosges to research the story behind Georg Büchner’s novel fragment "Lenz". But he soon trades the Alsatian landscape for higher altitudes: the urge to see his nine-year-old son Noah takes him to the Swiss ski resort of Zermatt. With Noah’s help, Lenz stages a reunion with his ex-wife Natalie, whom he still loves. The newfound closeness to his son, and the rekindled love for Natalie, form a brief idyll. But the fantasy of a happy family life is short-lived, overshadowed by Lenz’ increasingly erratic behaviour. Noah and Natalie return to Zurich, and Lenz remains in the mountains, alone.
