November Fog
17-year-old Paula lives on a farm with her mother, Heike. Her father, Rafael, has been in a coma for five months. Paula doesn’t talk about his situation; instead, she convinces herself that everything can go back to how it was before and that her dad will return if only the farm is running well.
When Heike reveals to her daughter that they have to sell the farm, Paula fights to keep it, hoping to thereby save her father. However, while Paula stubbornly tackles the farm work, Rafael’s health continues to deteriorate. In response, Paula shuts out everything except the work and also blocks out her mother, who is grappling with the critical situation.

“When I was 10 years old, my father had a serious skiing accident and was in a coma for several weeks. The accident and everything that followed significantly changed my relationship with my parents and, above all, sensitized me to the value of that relationship. This experience served as inspiration for Viel Nebel im November.
The film is about letting go and, at the same time, the fear of losing everything; about taking responsibility and reconciling with one’s parents and oneself. The fragile relationship between mother and daughter plays a central role, and it becomes clear that sometimes it can be better and even require more strength to give up.”
