Gus van Sant: "Gerry" (2002), 103 min

Film screening 03.02.13, 3 pm

Two friends, both named Gerry, leave the highway to journey into the wild desert. Carelessly, they travel through the barren landscape and soon realize they have lost their way. Initially amused, the young men eventually realize the seriousness of their situation. Helpless and in silence, they wander aimlessly - caught between desert and mountains - through the merciless landscape.

The film screening takes place at the Werkstattkino, Fraunhoferstraße 9.
