Synopsis: In a future-past world crumbling and wracked by perpetual war, frantic preparations for a music recital are underway in a disintegrating theatre. With the spectators oblivious to the imminent danger, the children are lined up and forced to perform. As the bombings become increasingly more frequent, only one thing holds the structure together – the unwavering determination of a forgotten old man in the cellar beneath the janitor’s apartment. Will this be enough to protect them from catastrophe?

Synopsis: Rosa H. Ziegler shows a portrait of her father who lives isolated in his room. He spends all his time there, inside, with no contact to other people and uncompromisingly following his addiction – smoking. His room becomes a cave, a retreat, where rules or something similar do not exist anymore. The film shows in a dark, dreamy and wistful atmosphere the life of an old man who is addicted to nicotine and who lives in his own “dream world”.
