Dying

Eidinger plays Tom Lunies, a conductor in Berlin who is busy with a new composition, called 'Sterben' – or 'Dying' – written by his close and increasingly unstable friend Bernard (Robert Gwisdek). Tom is on the verge of fatherhood; his ex-girlfriend wishes him to co-parent her child, even though he is not the biological father. Meanwhile Tom’s hard-partying sister, Ellen (Lilith Stangenberg), has just embarked on an affair with a married colleague (Ronald Zehrfeld; Barbara, SFF 2012), and rarely checks in on the pair’s aged parents, Lissy and Gerd (Corinna Harfouch and Hans-Uwe Bauer). But the chaos and indignities of life make a family reunion unavoidable. Brilliantly performed by the ensemble, Dying is an exceptionally emotional film that, in spite of its title, is all about living.
