Now, he finds himself confronting the very physical and psychological effects he once wrote about. In this short documentary we reflect on how he navigates these changes, while he and my mother contend with a persistent marten trying to invade their attic. We explore themes of aging, resilience, and the unexpected challenges life brings.

“Der Marder” served as my application film for the BA Directing program at Film University Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF, where I’m now studying. While it hasn’t been released publicly, I’m happy to provide a screening link upon request.
