Festival previews: Look forward to these special films

Surprise, there is a sheep in the garden! For most people a rather unexpected sight, but for Rakel and her family quite normal everyday life. When her parents retire, Rakel and her wife Ida take over the family's small sheep farm in northern Norway.  Woolly – Create Your Own Happiness accompanies this generational shift with a lot of humor and heart. Afterwards, farmer Rakel Nystabakk and her sister and director Rebecca Nystabakk will talk about life with sheep, the family business, and their film.

How to make a marriage for three work? The feature film The Lost Man tells of this constellation in a touching, sometimes humorous way and with a great deal of humanity.  20 years after the divorce, Hanne's former husband Kurt suddenly shows up at the door. Due to his dementia, he can no longer remember the divorce from Hanne and continues to treat her like his wife. Generously, Hanne's husband Bernhard accommodates the situation. Director Welf Reinhart will be a guest for a Q&A afterwards.
