Reizstoff

Fictional film, 2022
Germany, 33 minutes


The fear has become too overwhelming to numb it. Olivia runs an assisted suicide pension with her mother and must decide on her own who she will allow to die. Somehow everything in her world seems to relate to loss. She lives in a place of transit and yet she can’t move on herself. The more Olivia orbits around herself, the more she understands – the pain was there long before her.
