Shorts Attack in Dezember 2024

6 films in 90 minutes – with German subtitles

Great emotions for an Indonesian couple under pressure to reproduce, for a small talk with God, for a boy whose brother is deaf and for two starkly different people. What remains is the – Oscar-nominated – spawning migration of salmon and an alien who wants to save the world via an enchanted cat.
