Support the IFS by screening titles straight from independent distributors who routinely provide us with interesting movies. By clicking "watch now" below you'll be able to watch a theatrical release and the distributor will then split the proceeds 50/50 with the IFS, which in turn helps buy us time while we wait for the green light to return to Muenzinger Auditorium.
What happens with love when a woman in the middle of her life gets three months left to live?
ANJA (43) lives with TOMAS (59) in a large family of biological children and stepchildren.
For a number of years the two adults have grown independent of each other, with creative jobs in parallel worlds. When Anja gets a terminal cancer diagnosis, their modern life breaks down and exposes neglected love. Alone with her grief and her fears, Anja realizes that she needs Tomas’ full help and support. It’s their
only chance. How else will their children find the strength once she is gone, if their parents are
unable to weather the storm together? Anja and Tomas are thrown into a crash course in mutual trust, and eventually a joint struggle, to deal with this unexpected and premature death. By getting to know each other
anew, they unconsciously become the principal characters in a love story where they finally learn to truly love each other after a long life together.
