Walking on the Beach



Caspar Pfaundler : 2013
Gehen am strand

Anja is getting nowhere. Neither her academic career nor her private life are making any headway, and listlessness turns into depression. She has retreated to finish her master's thesis, but as much as she tries, she is stuck in her work. This situation seems to repeat itself with her relationship to her boyfriend Paul. When her grandmother dies and the family gathers at the funeral in The Hague, Anja flees to the seafront to come to terms with her loneliness. Walking the beach she feels her solitude and starts to see herself in a different light. From the intensity of her emotions there emerges a new self-perception. Caspar Pfaundler's second feature premiered at Diagonale Graz 2013, and screened at Belgrade International Film Festival 2014.
