REMINDER 2023 can be seen as an introduction to a world under crisis conditions. It is a world that at the same time has re-established the spirit of life.
[SYNOPSIS] The film is set during a heavy rainfall at a location where the street is covered by a building. There is a lot of traffic. As we follow the point of view of some nervous eyes a mix of audio fragments is floating by. We will first recognize it’s something dealing with Porsche sports cars. During the title sequence the topic changes: Our attention is drawn to the pouring rain and we start to listen to some political talk interfered by announcements well-known from international airports.
Though the discussion has not been brought to an end, our eyes turn around: We take a look at the outside where pedestrians and bicyclists are not protected from the rain. What we finally see are people and simple urban life at a crossing.
