Sterben follows the members of the Lunies family, which has been divided for a long time. Welcome to the preview of this award-winning and critically acclaimed black comedy about life's chaotic roller-coasters, quirky relationships and how death, in a way, binds us all closer together. The film was selected for the main competition in Berlin, where it won, among other things, the award for best screenplay. It also won several awards at this year's German Film Awards - including best film.

About the film

Lissy feels a quiet joy that her demented husband Gerd is slowly disappearing in a nursing home. The son Tom, a conductor in his early 40s, is working on a composition called 'Sterben', while also becoming a surrogate father to his ex-girlfriend's child. Tom's sister Ellen begins an affair with the married Sebastian, who shares her love of alcohol. When death finally knocks on the door, the estranged family members meet again.
