Director - Andres Veiel

Veiel’s most personal film. It pictures the fate of three of Veiel's former schoolmates who committed suicide. Rudi, Tilman and Thilo are dead – of their own free will. In the provinces of Swabia, Andres Veiel faces up to the tragedy of his former classmates and comes to the disturbing conclusion that every suicide ensnares its survivors in an intricate web of guilt and self-pity.
