Das alte Haus

Het verhaal

Samenvatting in het Engels

The elderly photographer Joseph Ernst has spent his entire life in the same apartment building. Now it is to be demolished to make way for a new building for high earners – for him, it's the end of the world. Since the death of his wife, Joseph has lived a secluded life in the house where he has spent his entire life; his only companion is his dog Leika. As the building's caretaker, he keeps the building tidy and maintains a distant relationship with the tenants. On the ground floor, next to Marlen Kramer's bakery, Joseph runs a photo studio. Herbert Leiser as the old photographer Joseph Ernst and Heidi Maria Glössner as Lilly, the head of a real estate company, play the leading roles in this moving story about an old building threatened with demolition and its residents.
