Text: Filomena Franke     OF German

Daydreaming, desiring, planning, remembering ... most of the day we spend not in the present, but somewhere between the future and the past. "If Two Quarrel" is the filming of a wonderful slam poem on exactly this topic, written by the slam poet Filomena Franke and filmed with mother and daughter Kirsten and Nina Benekam in the lead roles.

Sabrina Kollmann from the beautiful Chiemgau finds, language is the door to the world - and used properly, it can also be great cinema. In addition to Italian and English, the foreign language correspondent also loves the German language - especially in such polished form as in slam poetry. She is currently doing an internship at a marketing agency and is dreaming of a long future in the film industry. This is her first short feature film.

Associatively, the single-image animation consisting of photographs tries to capture the confused world of feeling in its black-and-white aesthetics without illustrating it.
