Death of My Youth
Kai Peter is the janitor at his son’s school—the very same school he attended as a child. Together with his wife, Meli, and son, Silas, he returns to his old hometown. Everything seems perfect: a secure job, a loving family, and Silas is following in his footsteps as a talented kickboxer. But Kai feels a deep sense of restlessness. He takes comedy classes, hoping to bring new energy to his life. A visit to the former children’s home, however, reopens old wounds, and meeting his former colleague Klaus confronts him with the paths of his past that he never wanted to walk again.
