Gerhard Lamprecht’s social observation belongs to the Weimar street-film tradition, using urban locations and domestic pressure to make poverty structural rather than picturesque.
How to ease in
The ensemble can feel dense. Track money, rooms, and work: each change in those three things explains why relationships harden or break.
Heads-up

The city offers constant movement without guaranteeing anyone progress. I watch doorways and streets become a map of who can rest and who must keep moving.
