Drama

Philipp Gerber is a smart, but self-satisfied car salesman. In an inattentive moment at the wheel of his car, he runs over a boy on a bike and, instead of helping him, he drives away. As he has feelings of guilt, he tries to find out more about the accident’s victim.

VIBE

This is a heavy, character-driven drama that slowly unravels the psychological toll of a single, life-altering mistake. It feels intensely personal and grounded in a palpable sense of dread and quiet desperation.
