SPECIAL SCREENING: Spielfilm "FORMEN MODERNER ERSCHÖPFUNG" mit Filmgespräch

Special screening of the documentary feature film "Forms of modern exhaustion" by Sascha Hilpert.

In attendance and followed by a discussion with the director.

The story of two people going through a crisis meets the reality of the last sanatorium of its kind. For over a hundred years, people have been coming to this place in the hope of being cured. So do Nina and Henri, both in midlife, burnt out and from different backgrounds. Their paths cross between the dining room, reclining cure and therapy at a time when they are struggling to find peace of mind. The house snows in and everything becomes slow and quiet. The ghosts and stories from the long corridors become the companions of their days. While the two read each other the riot act and try to forget their loneliness, a historian digs through the house archives for documents from the early days of the sanatorium. She researches the sanatorium as a hub in the history of modern exhaustion and traces an arc from neurasthenia to the "inner restlessness" of the present day for a dissertation. The house becomes the setting for an archaeology of exhaustion.
