The last People
Short. 25min. AT 2025. Director: Nicolas Pindeus
Lenz is an easygoing man. But things seem to be changing in his village. Fabian beats someone nearly to death, and Carina wants to move to New York. When a great love fails to materialize, Lenz has to accept that his little world is slowly falling apart.
"Photographed in stunning black and white Images by exceptional talent Lukas Allmaier, the film captures the feeling of growing up in the countryside with great economy – an authentic glimpse into lived life."
