Das erste turbulente Wiedersehen nach vielen Jahren zwischen der führungsstarken und sympathischen Direktorin Katharina Hendriks (Anja Kling) und dem Gastdozenten und Starkoch Erik (Oliver Mommsen) an der Flensburger Berufsschule ist noch nicht lange her, da bahnt sich schon die nächste Auseinandersetzung an. Denn Erik funkt an einem für die Schule und Katharina wichtigen "Tag der offenen Tür" wieder einmal mit seinen eigenwilligen Methoden dazwischen. Schulleiterin Katharina hat ein Problem: Für das neue Ausbildungsjahr gibt es nicht genügend Anmeldungen und besonders in der Gastronomieklasse fehlen die Berufsschüler. Es droht sogar die Schließung des Fachbereichs. Jetzt sind Ideen gefragt und in der Not vertraut Katharina auf die unkonventionellen Ideen ihres Gastdozenten Erik. Dabei hatte sie doch gehofft, den Foodblogger zum Ende des Semesters wieder loszuwerden. Jetzt aber scheint er die Rettung beim großen "Tag der offenen Tür" zu sein, der als Werbeaktion für die Schule die Anmeldungen in die Höhe treiben soll. Katharina ahnt nicht, dass ihr das eine Konfrontation mit ihrer Schwester Antje einbringt, die - ebenfalls Starköchin - von Erik hinter ihrem Rücken als Schirmherrin eingeladen wird. Die Schwestern haben sich vor 15 Jahren unversöhnlich entzweit und sehen sich jetzt gezwungen, wieder miteinander zu reden. Auch Erik hat ein familiäres Problem zu lösen: Seine alte Mutter braucht ihn und nicht nur sein Bruder appelliert an Eriks Verantwortung. Doch wird der Weltenbummler wirklich in seiner alten Heimat sesshaft werden? Als wären das nicht genug Sorgen, kümmert sich Katharina um Schlachter-Azubi Sven, der als Familienerbe den väterlichen Betrieb übernehmen soll. Aber will er das wirklich? Katharinas Krisenmanagement ist auf allen Ebenen gefragt.

Premise: When life is unbearable and there is no love, death is attractive. Overview: After a year of planning, then shooting, and finally post-production work my new film The Dialog is complete. Please have a look at it and tell me what you think. The idea behind The Dialog were the expressionist films: The Student of Prague (1913), The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), From Morn to Midnight (1920), The Golem: How He Came into the World (1920), Destiny (1922), Nosferatu (1922), Phantom (1922), Schatten (1923), and The Last Laugh (1924). These were highly symbolic and stylized films, filmed in what is now known as German Expressionism. The first Expressionist films made up for a lack of lavish budgets by using set designs with wildly non-realistic, geometrically absurd angles, along with designs painted on walls and floors to represent lights, shadows, and objects. The plots and stories of the Expressionist films often dealt with madness, insanity, betrayal and other "intellectual" topics triggered by the experiences of WWI (as opposed to standard action-adventure and romantic films). These were the ideas behind the film version of The Dialog. The story used in The Dialog is based on a poem by Percy Shelley. His poem explores our feelings towards death. Shelley captures the fear and attraction we all feel towards our inevitable end. The film tries to invoke the same spirit of Shelley's poem by utilizing expressionist cinema techniques. Percy Shelley (4 August 1792 - 8 July 1822) was one of the major English Romantic poets, and is regarded by critics as amongst the finest lyric poets in the English language. A radical in his poetry as well as his political and social views, Shelley did not achieve fame during his lifetime, but recognition for his poetry grew steadily following his death. Shelley was a key member of a close circle of visionary poets and writers that included Lord Byron; Leigh Hunt; Thomas Love Peacock; and his own second wife, Mary Shelley,
