Live

In the near future: public gatherings are forbidden due to a high risk of terrorist attacks. Driven by a desire to be in contact with others, two siblings plan an illegal live concert. But public gatherings of any kind are forbidden. Meetings with other people may only take place virtually. In a world where concerts, schools, supermarkets, theaters and pubs no longer exist, Claire (Karoline Marie Reinke) works as a psychologist caring for survivors of terrorist attacks. One day, upon finding an event ticket, an analog scrap of paper, on a patient, she breaks free from her life of isolation. Driven by the need for community, she plans a secret live concert in front of a physically present audience with her brother Aurel (Anton Spieker), a star trumpet player who has only performed in front of virtual audiences for years.
