A GOOD PLACE

A village in decay, two young women, news of a rocket launch, people are disappearing – is homo sapiens leaving earth? Katharina Huber said in an interview that her goal was for the audience to come away from her debut film moved, without being able to name an exact feeling. This captures the magic of EIN SCHÖNER ORT perfectly. The Cologne-based filmmaker, using the simplest of means, succeeds in creating cinematic images with an incredible suggestive effect, for which she received the Young Talent Award for Best Director at Locarno, and Clara Schwinning an award for the best performance.
