What it is about
Blues musician Al Cook lives in an apartment filled with memories. Outside, the world carries on without him. But when his home is slated for demolition, out of the ruins of his existence, a long-forgotten dream suddenly resurfaces.
What to expect
Tizza Covi and Rainer Frimmel’s 86-minute German-language drama follows blues musician Al Cook, holed up in an apartment dense with the past, as a demolition order forces a buried ambition to the surface. The movie works in a restrained, observational register — handheld camerawork, long takes, and the grain of a lived-in room matter more than plot. It is a small-scale character study that will suit audiences looking for European art cinema with a documentary texture. The movie opens in Hong Kong on 25 September 2026 as a KINO release, playing in standard 2D only. English subtitles are provided.
