Malte Wirtz

Dear audience, Movies are the perfect place to dream, to be transported to strange worlds, to dive into the being of others, to travel to other times, to feel the pain of love, the pain of parting, the pain of death, the bliss of friendship, the light of happiness, the bliss of new life, the brutality of war, the strange comedy and transience of life, as if it had just happened to you. That's why I love movies and that's why I love Sooner, because it gives special movies a comfortable home. Best wishes, -Malte Wirtz
