Synopsis:

Maximilian Erlenwein's first feature, Gravity is a powerful, character-driven drama and subversive comedy in the style of the Coen Brothers that charts the downward spiral of Frederik, a single, thirty-something bank clerk who makes good money, wears nice suits, drives an expensive car, and lives in a luxurious apartment. In other words, he's a perfectly believable modern-day character. Frederik's life changes in an instant, however, when a stressed-out customer blows his brains out in front of him. The event shocks him into an early mid-life crisis. He hates his job, still obsesses about a long lost love, and acknowledges that his life is actually boring. When he meets Vince, an old-time friend and ex-con, Frederik takes a high-speed journey into violence and crime, with out-of-control results. An entertaining action movie with a sharp-edged script and a splattering of humor, Gravity pulls us into the psyche of a sympathetic desperado, intensely portrayed by Fabian Hinrichs, who, in trying to find meaning in his life, may have lost his way.

The story of a seemingly settled bank employee who breaks the shackles of his everyday life and becomes a wanderer between worlds. Frederik is an up-and-coming young bank employee who lives an ordinary life. When a bank customer, whom Frederik has denied a loan in the face of the bank crisis, shoots himself in front of Frederik, he snaps. Together with ex-con Vince,he begins to live out a new, dark side of himself. He robs his rich bank customers' homes and gives the money to the needy. The initial rush of crossing social boundaries soon develops into an addiction to ever greater thrills.

The story of a bank worker who, after seeing a disappointed client commit suicide before his eyes, completely turns his back on his routine existence.
