Andreas Vitasek - Kurzzugende(2008)
He is invited to the chancellor's party. But on the way there, he feels a little sentimental. So he takes a detour via Favoriten, where he grew up. This is Andreas Vitasek: poetic, cheerful, and a little devious. In what is perhaps his most personal program, Kurzzugende oder Ich war auch einmal so wie Sie, naja (1997). It's about the nature of happiness, claustrophobia in elevators, the art of cooking beef soup, impossible love and the possible consequences of trivial decisions, fame, alcohol, money, and gender confusion. In other words, all things human, served up indirectly and slyly.

Part of that microcosm is barkeeper Frank, semi-formally called 'Herr Lehmann' by friends and patrons. He hangs out drinking, sports utter disregard for anything beyond SO 36 and lazily pursues an affair with cook Katrin. His lifestyle is gradually disturbed, when his parents show up for a visit, things go awry with Katrin and his best friend Karl starts to act strange.

The search is never-ending, and so they repeatedly find themselves at a ritual gathering: someone moving. Boxes are shifted from one side of Berlin to the other, or the length and breadth of Germany, from one abode to the next as one life is exchanged for another.
