Vorübergehende

Joyful and ironic, delightful and melancholic. A man has fallen asleep on a train. When he wakes up, a strange girl, Jara, is leaning trustfully against him. She is without money, without papers, and nearly without language. The man, a successful motivational coach, has turned away from the world, defeated by his own mundane wisdoms. But now he thinks pathetically: the girl could be his salvation. Giving her a home will provide his existence with the longed-for meaning. So he takes Jara in with him in Munich - which leads to a decisive turn in his life. A successful man on the brink of retirement searching for the meaning of a disturbingly successful life. Here, one who has everything yet knows only emptiness encounters one who has nothing yet is immeasurably richer in life. Michael Krüger depicts this constellation with great pleasure.
