Anna has locked herself away in her apartment. In her early 30s, she has left her partner, job and friends behind to go back to university and get her life back on track – yet instead finds herself lonely and listless in her self-imposed isolation. Her only companion is a huge pink soft toy that offers critical commentary on her decisions. When she finds old, worn-out cassette tapes amidst the moving boxes, buried memories gradually come to light.

In a moving, surprising and profound way, director Dennis Baumann explores trauma and a sense of belonging without succumbing to false sentimentality.

This Darmstadt-based production shows how great cinema can be made on a tiny budget. Filmed in just 10 days at a single location and financed through crowdfunding, Dennis Baumann delivers an impressive debut with Sorry Momo.
