Lieber Thomas

Description

The GDR is still young, but Thomas Brasch already doesn't fit in. His father wants to help build the new German state. But Thomas, the eldest son, would rather become a writer. He is a dreamer, an obsessive and a rebel. His very first play is banned and soon he is expelled from film school. When the Soviet tanks rolled through Prague in 1968, Brasch and other students protested in the streets of Berlin - and ran into a wall.

Working out the (sometimes surreal) digital visuals with Myrna, Frido and Andreas was a real pleasure :-)

LIEBER THOMAS had its world premiere at the FILMFEST MÜNCHEN 2021 and won 9 Lolas at Deutscher Filmpreis 2022.
