Story

DOCUMENTARY What makes a good life? Five sensitive, documentary miniatures shows different models of how to gear up for life and love. A doctor living alone, a patchwork family, a vicar preying, a female worker on a night shift, a couple who own a forest: five lives at the start of the 21st century, five attempts to fill the arc between birth and death with sense, five times normalcy, in which success, happiness and desolation lie close together.
