Synopsis:

EGOSHOOTER (2004)
19-year-old Jakob lives in Cologne, sharing a flat with his brother and the latter's girlfriend, Karo, who is pregnant. He's a drifter and obsessively records his daily life on video. He films himself while masturbating, secretly observes his brother and Karo through the lens and documents the concerts of Phillip, his friend. He gets drunk with Piet's mother, satisfies Mani on the river banks, scrounges money off pedestrians, breaks into a house and together with Phillip smashes the furniture. Egoshooter is a fragmentary document of Jakob's reality. By means of association, scenes come together to form a puzzle that paints a fractured portrait of Jakob. In this experimental blending of video diary with feature film elements, atmospheric snapshots take the place of a linear narration."

HALF THE RENT (2002)
In the past years Peter has spent his time exclusively with computers and the cracking of secret entrance data. During this period he has lost touch with reality and has not realized his girlfriends growing addiction to pills. One morning he finds her dead in the bath tub. Paralysed by the shock, he leaves Berlin in trance. The coincidence carries him to Cologne. Living secretly in the apartments of strangers, he starts leading a shadowy existence. As a secret intruder he feels protected against the memories and faces that haunt him. Slowly he regains his way to real communication and sincere mourning.
