Kater

What happens to a relationship when it is destroyed from within? Klaus Händl's drama won the Teddy Award for best feature film. Andreas and Stefan lead a happy life full of passion: together with their beloved cat Moses, they live in a beautiful old house in the vineyards of Vienna and work as musicians and dispatchers in the same orchestra. Their passion for music, their large circle of colleagues and friends, and their furry companion shape the everyday life of the two men. But one morning, an unexpected outburst of violence by Stefan shatters the harmonious relationship between the two. From that moment on, skepticism and alienation dominate their everyday relationship and present a difficult hurdle to overcome. While Stefan loses his footing, Andreas continues to struggle with his mistrust and his love for Stefan. Following his award-winning debut film März, Klaus Händl's (artist name: Händl Klaus) second work depicts the expulsion of two lovers from paradise. With great sensitivity for the male soul and the blind spot we carry within us, this musical and poetic ballad tells of the fragility of love. The actors Philipp Hochmair and Lukas Turtur are two theater animals who impress with their naturalistic acting. “Writer/director Klaus Händl and his team brought together masterful editing, beautiful cinematography, and a great performance by the human ensemble to create a suspenseful atmosphere.” (Teddy Award Jury - Berlinale)
