Cannes 2011: Stopped On Track by Andreas Dresen

Stopped On Track

A story about death that celebrates life – that’s exactly the description of the upcoming Andreas Dresen‘s project titled Stopped On Track (Halt auf freier Strecke), a movie that will compete in Un Certain Regard Category at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

This is kind of a movie that will try to answer one of the hardest life questions and show us that “…not being alone while you are left behind alone – maybe that’s a good thing.”

Stopped On Track

Forty-year-old healthy Frank has been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor and suddenly condemned to only a few months to live. It’s a shock to a life seemingly on track with a steady job and a new house in the suburbs. But together Frank and his family push through with their daily life of work and school.

Frank tries to cope with the difficulty of accepting the inevitable: increasing symptoms of the illness and medical treatment. He uses his iPhone as a kind of emotional diary. The decision to home care Frank puts an immense strain on loving Simone and ends up distancing the family members as much as it keeps them together…

Movie stars Milan Peschel, Steffi Kühnert, Talisa Lilly Lemke, Mika Nilson Seidel, Ursula Werner, Otto Mellies, Bernhard Schütz and Marie Rosa Tietjen.
