Pensioner Mr Kummer is desperate to attend a Christmas party for his estranged family, who have unexpectedly invited him. A story about the loss of illusion.
Rüdiger Kummer (74) lives in a block of flats. An illness slowly creeps into his life. For a long time, he is unaware of it himself. The eternal bachelor lives in seclusion, but enjoys talking to his young neighbours about historical events. The dark month of November gives him a hard time. Unexpectedly, his brother, whom he hasn’t seen for a long time, calls him and invites him to spend Christmas with him and his family. Inspired by a true story from Münster.
