Description:
“Du bei mir - Teil II” (You by Me - Part II) is the second film of a trilogy on faith, describing
the diverse aspects of the intimate and trusting relationship a person may develop with a
spiritual entity.
This film focuses on the afterworld. It metaphorically looks at the overcoming of death as a jump
into an unknown dimension. The film presents a dark, dirty alley. The camera slowly pans into a narrow
passage. The viewers find themselves staring at a dead end, a wall with no doors or windows to escape through.
Suddenly, a sound of running steps comes closer, louder. A pole-vaulter spins by the camera and jumps over
the wall, disappearing.
