A TENDER LOVE UNDER UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES
As a trainee doctor, Benjamin is completing an internship at a cancer ward. He would never have dreamed that he would meet his childhood sweetheart AMBROS there. Ambros is being treated as a patient, his body is full of metastases. In the midst of everyday hospital life, the two grow closer again. Between resolute nurses and rattling room neighbours, jovial senior physicians and unteachable emergency candidates, they realise that it's THE EYES THAT REMAIN IN THEIR EYES ...

A TRIBUTE TO THE MOMENT: TOUCHING AND TRUE-TO-LIFE, SOMETIMES EVEN FUNNY
David Fuchs, SELF ONCOLOGUE, tells the story of the young men without any mawkishness, but with a subtle sense of the crude in the interpersonal - and is all the more touching for it. It effortlessly harbours the BEAUTY AND LIFE OF LIFE in the face of a farewell. The FM4 WORTLAUT WINNER thus presents a STRONG DEBUT, flavoured with a bit of NINETY YEARS FEELING, in which he shows that the big feelings are in the small gestures.

"Impressive and also very touching - a condensation of a few really very strong little anecdotes and images that become a very big life and love story."
