DIE HABENICHTSE

Director/cinematographer Florian Hoff­meister made his directorial debut in 2005 with 3 DEGREES COLDER which won the Silver Leopard for Best First Feature in Locarno. Ten years later, with a successful career as a DoP on such films as THE DEEP BLUE SEA and MORTDECAI, he returns to the director’s chair for an adaptation of Katharina Hacker’s 2006 German Book Prize-winning novel Die Habenichtse. Julia Jentsch (SOPHIE SCHOLL) and Sebastian Zimmler (HOME FOR THE WEEKEND) play the couple Isabelle and Jacob who were in love a long time ago. On the evening of September 11th, they meet and fall in love again. But a future together seems doomed as their love is scarred by guilt over the death of a best friend...
