Detlev

Ferdinand Ehrhardt (Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg)
2024, Germany, 12'50''

A constantly freezing man in his forties drives to a lonely petrol station every evening and orders a microwaved Toast Hawaii. Detlev indulges in this in a bizarre ritual, because it's the only thing that warms him in his daily life.

Moški v štiridesetih, ki ga nenehno zebe, se vsak večer odpelje na osamljeno bencinsko črpalko in si naroči havajski toast iz mikrovalovne pečice. Detlev se temu prepušča v bizarnem ritualu, saj je to edino, kar v njegov vsakdan vnese nekaj topline.

Ferdinand Ehrhardt

born 1999, grew up in Dresden, Germany. Acting with his brother's cuddly toys in his children's bed somehow led to his studies in animation at the Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg. There he tried his hand at several different approaches of audiovisual storytelling and with the stop-motion short "DETLEV" he completed his studies in 2024.
