HOUSE NUMBER ZERO
DEU 2024. dir: Lilith Kugler. Documentary. 98 min. FSK: 12
When director Lilith Kugler comes to Berlin to study film, homeless Chris is the first person to welcome her. Chris lives with his buddy Alex at an S-Bahn station on the outskirts of the capital, cared for by the entire neighborhood. But he is an addict and is unable to free himself from the vicious circle. As he gets worse and worse and only narrowly escapes death, he decides that he has to get off the streets and off heroin. But where to? How can a young man find his place in our society, even though he has never fit in anywhere since childhood - or wanted to?
Kugler accompanies Chris for three years with her camera; "in a mixture of intimate close-ups and respectful distance, the unagitated portrait gives homelessness a face, but also has an ear for the powerlessness of relatives and acquaintances." (Filmdienst)
In cooperation with POLIT:SALON, followed by a film discussion
