FILMGESPRÄCH: Oskar und die Dame in Rosa

In the organizer's words:

One-off special event as part of the film series "Incurable illness, dying, death and mourning in film" in cooperation with the Palliative Network Mainz. This will be followed by a film discussion moderated by Prof. Dr. Michael Albus (Mainz).

What do you do when you don't have much time left? Do you look back on your life? On the many things you have already experienced? And what do you do when you don't have much time left, but simply haven't had a life to look back on yet, and haven't had many things to experience? For little Oskar, who is terminally ill with cancer, the question is clear thanks to the lady in pink at his side: he looks forward and experiences ten years of a life in one day. A life he will never have. (j.b.)
