153 Meter

The caretaker Lana shares a small apartment with her mother who needs care. In order to escape from her difficult everyday life, she observes a young woman in the opposite block of flats through a video camera and builds up an intimate relationship with her in her imagination. When Lana sees her new friend's happiness threatened, she leaves the role of the silent observer and intervenes in the events. Two opposite prefabricated buildings, three women, three generations, a video camera. The Story of an Obsession.

Directed by Anton von Heiseler, 153 Meter leans on a strong ensemble — Michaela Caspar, Emilia von Heiseler, Lucas Lentes — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2022.
