Director: Therese Koppe - 2019 - 72 Min.
Two artists - one partnership. IM STILLEN LAUT is a film about love at old age, autonomy, GDR and art. Erika and Tine, both 81 today, question everything with curiosity and openness, be it past or present.
“With Annegret Sachse doing the camera and Billie Jagodszinska doing the sound recording the film was shot in a rather intimate setting. Throughout the whole year we lived together with Erika and Christine in Lietzen. Both protagonists inspired me with their humorous approach to life. I am amazed by the fact that today, being 81 years old, they are able to question their own story with liveliness and self-reflectiveness.” - Therese Koppe
