Frank and Simone have fulfilled their dream and live with their two children in a townhouse in the suburbs. They are a happy couple until the day Frank is diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. The family is suddenly confronted with death.
STOPPED ON TRACK is a story of extremes, which arise from everyday events, a story that celebrates life in death.
This screening is in collaboration with the Goethe Institut London, and is part of ongoing season of German films at Deptford Cinema.
“ Best Feature Film”
“Prix Un Certain Regard”
“An honest, heart-wrenching film that shows it is possible to die with dignity, despite the suffering. Andreas Dresen has succeeded in making a film about death, which also conveys the joy of being alive”
