Continuity reveals a German couple’s incapacity to get over the death of their son, who died in Afghanistan. Their endless attempts to get a grip on their emotions become clear from the repetition of a certain scene; hallucinatory and surreal moments; references to horror films. They culminate in disillusion. Sexual tension and frustrated excesses alternate in a very cinematographic film that Omer Fast was commissioned to shoot for dOCUMENTA 13.
