I just watched a collection of short films at the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF). On the Line (Auf der Strecke) was one of them. It was fantastic. I didn't want it to end. I was moved and thoroughly impressed. The lead was fantastic and the girl was great, too. The story was emotional and perfect. The writing was authentic and it made me feel for the main characters. All of the scenes had a clarity to them that I wouldn't expect from students. I hope that I get to see more of their work in the future. I think everyone should jump at any chance to see this short film. It is very deserving of all of its awards. I can't wait to see how it does at SIFF.
