ALLEGRO PASTELL

It’s the exceptionally hot summer of 2018, and novelist Tanja Arnheim and web designer Jerome Daimler have a seemingly ideal long-distance relationship conducted in the searing heat of Berlin, the idyll of an inherited bungalow in the valley of the River Main and the many train journeys in between. But the carefully cultivated equilibrium of trust and independence between the two hyper-reflective millennials is shaken when Tanja realises on the night of her birthday that the relationship could become existential.

Anna Roller’s second feature after her award-winning debut DEAD GIRLS DANCING is based on the eponymous bestselling novel by Leif Randt who also wrote the screenplay.
