IN DEN GÄNGEN

IN THE AISLES marks the third collaboration between the director Thomas Stuber and Leipzig-based author Clemens Meyer after the Student Oscar^®-winning short OF DOGS AND HORSES and his Lola-winning feature debut A HEAVY HEART. Their screenplay was adapted from Meyer’s eponymous short story about a tender love affair between the shy, taciturn Christian and his colleague Marion, who works in the next aisle of the superstore on confectionery. Meanwhile, A HEAVY HEART’s lead actor Peter Kurth is cast as Christian’s fatherly friend, Bruno, who takes the silent newcomer under his wing to teach him the art of driving a forklift truck.
