Ich geh jetzt / I go now

Short – 15 min. – Germany – 2K digital – Dolby 5.1 – 2019

A couple prepares to move in together and give birth. In her childhood home, Paula persuades her father to let go of her, while Hector sneaks into town to track an old love affair.

Director’s Note

This film is a contemplation on the provisional space we inhabit. All the characters wander between what must be left behind and what must be reached, hoping that something fulfilling awaits them on the other side of the threshold. Every whistle, every gesture, every silence in the film is shaped by this impermanence. 

„I go now“ is born out of a personal struggle with the fact that all our shared moments are fleeting, and that our time together, no matter how profound, is always, at its core, finite.  Learning to accept this—not as a flaw, but as something strangely beautiful— is something to practice every day.
