SOMETIMES WE SIT AND THINK AND SOMETIMES WE JUST SIT
a film by julian pörksen

 

peter, who is 50 years old and in the prime of his life moves into a nursing home in order to do nothing for the rest of his days. the people around him react violently, ecstaticly and uneasy to his weird decision. they only calm down when they see his cheerful inaction, solve the riddle and find an „answer“– by turning him into a role model (his caretaker), a secret lover (mrs. drusse), a traitor (his son) and a case study (his doctor). a roadmovie without a road, where a volunteer senior dedicated to passivity causes a wealth of incidents.
