Jonas Rothlaender

Fado

The mysteriously familiar face of a deceased young woman shakes young surgeon Fabian out of his lethargy. On a whim, he leaves Berlin for Portugal, determined to win back his former girlfriend Doro, who works at an architectural company in Lisbon.

Power of Love

Saara and Robert are living a love that is free from traditional conventions and role models. They set off to an extensive summer holiday on a lonely island in the Finnish archipelago where the tension between them escalates and becomes a fight for survival.

Returning

After Ines suddenly disappeared from her friend Promi’s life six years ago, she now wants to revive their once intimate relationship on a joint vacation. But soon Promi discovers the true reason behind Ines‘ sudden return.

Nobody Meets Your Eyes

They are everywhere without us observing them. These ‘invisibles’ can only be seen on camera and only heard thanks to a microphone. Footage shot in public spaces shows people who seem non-existent to everyone else in the frame.

Das Hemd

Wedding reception. Men's restroom. Two men squeeze into one of the cramped stalls. Walter and Markus—father and son ...

The Strong Sex

Director Jonas Rothlaender confronts nine men, including one gay and one bisexual interviewee, with anonymous statements of other men in his documentary experimental set-up. The topics: sexual (borderline) experiences, traditional role models and the current understanding of male sexuality. The result is that the interviewees themselves subsequently begin to speak openly and frankly about their own experiences. And to reflect on their sexuality. To which social ideals does the male sex see itself committed, and do "typical male traditions" still exist at all today?

Jagdgründe

After his company goes bankrupt, a man goes into the forest to die.
