About Kometen
The brightest comet in 400 years is racing across Europe's firmament - and amateur astronomer Kranich has discovered it. "Comets" is his story - and that of a few other people in a small town somewhere in Europe: a lonely teenage girl who puts her young life in danger on her birthday... Her father, whose fear of unemployment triggers a drastic reaction... An elderly gentleman with Alzheimer's who courts the same elegant lady every day.
Directed by Till Endemann, Kometen leans on a strong ensemble — Michael Hanemann, Boris Aljinovic, Jan Henrik Stahlberg — 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 2005.
