Helenenplatz

Hanna, a trustee experiencing burnout, sits paralyzed in front of her computer, escapes to the city, shoplifts in department stores, and tries to meet men. Her young secretary Sabine increasingly takes over the files, sets her up on dates, and dreams of love herself. Georg, a game designer on a timeout, battles dragons and runs through the city, with something indefinable lurking behind him. Eventually, he haunts the personal ads on the screens of Hanna and Sabine at Helenenplatz. Three modern city dwellers meet and miss each other, guided by the city, its streets, department stores, office towers, and screens. Driven by their dreams of love that lasts longer than a few nights. Simona Ryser beautifully narrates the story of the city, work, and love through music. "Helenenplatz" is a modern fairy tale in the age of online platforms where lonely singles seek companionship.
