“Let’s make a documentary together,” says Chrigu. “Then I will get out at some point.” This is the story of a young man who once had great plans for the future, until an advanced-stage tumour was discovered at the age of 21. Jan Gassmann follows Christian Ziörjen’s (Chrigu) fight to live, in a film less about death, but about living life. Christian himself had been making his own films since the age of 16: at parties, concerts, on a trip to India, his camera was always with him. With “Chrigu”, filmmaker Jan Gassmann succeeds in creating a moving and surprising portrait of his best friend.

Lukas is a successful hip hop star on a drug fuelled fade, much to the annoyance of his producer/lover, Mischa. When Mischa opts to include Lukas' brother Sämi on his latest album, jealousy and rivalry tear the three apart.
