MEL’S BLOCK

The legend is still told today in the block of flats in Rostock’s Groß-Klein where 34-year-old Mel grew up - that she became one of the youngest self-made millionaires in Germany. However, Mel’s personal memories of her youth are far from joyful. Determined to exorcise the shadows of her past and embrace the future, she impulsively purchases the entire block. Her intention is to revisit this place one last time, transforming it into a repository of positive memories, but anyone who summons up these old ghosts must expect them to have an opinion of their own.

MEL’S BLOCK is Mark Sternkiker’s second collaboration with Tidewater Pictures after his 2022 short SCHNITTSTELLE.
