Im Bären

The daring journey through Europe of two somewhat naive friends, Salvatore and Felice, fleeing a small town in Puglia, who find themselves catapulted to Rotterdam and then to Iceland. For the first time in their lives they will discover what it means to feel alive and happy. Through some mishap and with the help of the generous and extravagant Anke, they will overcome their fears and inhibitions. They will be overwhelmed by life, discovering the joy of existing and of experiencing and receiving affection and love in a strange triangle of relationships typical of a 'modern family', bizarre and reassuring at the same time.

By observing the everyday life of an older couple, we realise that love goes through different phases and that it is often hidden behind simple, everyday gestures.

Past and present mood surface and superimpose in the director's parents' private archive images, among the relations which retrace the same, inexplicable steps.
