In the organizer's words:

Special screening of the documentary feature film "Forms of Modern Exhaustion" by Sascha Hilpert.

In cooperation with the Göttinger Knabenchor

A mysterious sanatorium somewhere in the Harz Mountains. For over a hundred years, people have been coming to this place in the hope of a cure. So do Nina and Henri, both in midlife, burnt out and from different backgrounds. Their paths cross between the dining room, reclining cure and therapy at a time when they are struggling to find peace of mind. The house snows in and everything becomes slow and quiet. The ghosts and stories from the long corridors become the companions of their days. While the two read each other the riot act and try to forget their loneliness, a historian digs through the house archive for documents from the early days of the sanatorium. The sanatorium as a hub of modern exhaustion history...

The Dr. Barner clinic in Braunlage was the filming location. A young singer from the Göttingen Boys' Choir makes a special appearance in the film. At the introduction, representatives of the boys' choir talk about how they came to be involved in the film.
