Das halbe Leben

Five people with completely different backgrounds come together in the same situation. They have all lost their jobs, but deal with their problems in very distinct ways. Work takes up half of your life; for the unemployed, it occupies every single day. Amelie is a lawyer, who holds on to her belief that a duke is a duke no matter what. Bella, a diet consultant, on the other hand, has lost all confidence in herself and her future. Former media producer Klaus wants to get back to work despite his age. So does Ulli, a shy man trained to be a web-designer, who cannot get a job for lack of experience. For Heike, an ergotherapist, the only real thing is working with children. (DOK.fest München)
