Nothing But Ghosts

Nothing But Ghosts

(Nichts als Gespenster), Martin Gypkens / D, 2007
German version / English subtitles / translated into Czech, 116 min

Five tales of unfulfilled love, hopes and dreams, based on Judith Hermann´s critically acclaimed international bestsellers "Nothing But Ghosts" and "The Summer House, Later". Judith Hermann sends her characters out into the world dealing with her favorite themes: star-crossed love and the general rootlessness of Generation X. Whether they´re in Venice, Jamaica, Berlin, the Nevadan desert or Iceland ­ her characters always leave their familiar surroundings behind. They travel to various countries for various motives, but they all inevitably realize that there´s something you can´t escape, no matter where you go: yourself.
