DIE BADEWANNE

THE BATHTUB

Three brothers in a bathtub. It would actually sound normal, if they weren’t way over thirty. Responsible for this is the youngest brother Niklas, who had the idea to re-enact an old picture from their childhood for a present. On the evening before their mom’s birthday party he is arguing with his older brother Georg, who thinks the idea is just stupid. The argument develops into a fight which shows how much time has passed since the old photo. Filmed as a one-take from the perspective of the photo camera.
