Set in Seattle, 2018, the film centers on 59-year-old Victor (Victor Janusz) haunted by memories --and the ghost-- of his life partner who died in 'the Plague' of 1993. Retracing the steps of a whirlwind courtship, struggles to date again, and regular visits to his dedicated doctor (Kathy Hsieh) only intensify the flashbacks of his lost love (Ryan Higgins) and his younger self (Adam Michael Waldo). Victor finds a new perspective (through music) to the scar he must continually learn to accept --and live with.

Homeless alcohol, nicotine and drug addicts live under the S-Bahn bridge at Kottbusser Tor in Berlin. On the way to my fitness center, I saw them sleeping and using drugs there. As a filmmaker, I wanted to take a closer look at it and learn about the reasons why they lead such a life. One of my protagonists lives in the same house as me and has himself admitted to psychiatry. His apartment has been cleared and he is now being looked after by social workers after his treatment. It is a visual attempt to find out the reasons why the protagonists got into this difficult life situation. In addition, the recordings are permeated by the attempt to show spiritual connections with reference to the law of cause and effect. At the end of the documentary, almost all of the protagonists have disappeared and the place at Kottbuser Tor has been cleared. The reasons for this are not known and would be a topic for new documentation. They have broken up and contact with them is no longer possible. Today I assume that they have been accommodated and are well looked after. There are reasons for this assumption that are not dealt with in the documentation. It was not only my goal to make a documentary but also to make sure that they get help. At the moment it looks like I've succeeded. Since my films have only been known to my friends so far, I have now made the decision to bring the last of my films to the public. All films are aids to reflection, have a therapeutic effect and increase the ability to mentalize. Working on this documentation gave me several insights, among other things. The experience of emotions is considered to be the origin from which mentalization can ultimately grow. Based on the hypothesis that infants do have emotional expressions but do not have a differentiated awareness or experience of their emotional states, early affect mirroring is ascribed a central role. The ability to mentalize enables one to think about oneself and about the assumed inner life of other people. Different perspectives are recognized, and false beliefs are incorporated into oneself and other.

Seven women, each on their own, lose their way in a forest in the Abruzzo Apennines, arriving at an ancient farmhouse that appears to be uninhabited. After managing to enter it through a maze of rooms, they encounter three enigmatic women dressed in black who invite them to a table already set for seven, with an eighth place empty. Frightened and angry, they try to escape, discovering, however, that whatever route they take will always lead them back to the cottage. A "strange woman " will appear to occupy that empty eighth place, who apparently will not let them leave until each of them has made a kind of public catharsis of their most secret vices that seem to correspond to the "seven deadly sins."

Success means everything to Donia; to be fair, she’s one of life’s winners. A doting mother to two young girls, happily married and, through graft and guile, she’s the owner of a thriving Agency.
Then she gets the call, the news no one ever wants. She’s terminal.
Donia goes into a tailspin; what about the business she’s worked so hard to build up? What about her husband? How will he cope?
And her children… her young, innocent children.
Monster in Mummy follows Donia’s courageous story as she deals with her world crumbling around her whilst she remains steadfast in being the ‘strong woman.’
As those around her she thought she could rely on start to drift away, she meets Chrissy, a young woman cursed with a similar fate. Their bond and wildly different coping strategies enable Donia to make sense of the car crash her life has spiralled into.
With the bonds of love and friendship urging her along, she confronts her biggest fear… how does she tell her children she’s not going to be there for them? She won’t see them graduate, get married, or have their own children. And then the worst thing possible happens…
But, from despair comes hope, and sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t always on your final journey.
