12 Years

For twelve years she ignored sneers and mockery and stood up for her relationship. But that was probably a mistake. Now her husband is leaving her for another. She draws a painful résumé of their time together, in which she ignored hostility and ridicule and committed herself to their relationship. At first he is considerate, but becomes more and more cynical towards her. "With an animation performance that is second to none, director Daniel Nocke convinces in this short film as well as with a wonderful sequence of well placed surprise moments. Entertaining, crisp, trenchant, with sensationally original animation, that's how a short film has to be!" (FBW jury statement) "Daniel Nocke is one of the most interesting personalities in contemporary German cinema." (filmspaicher.com)
