Schiffbau-Box
After a Christmas party with the extended family that got out of hand – Grandpa asks: “Why don't you have a sweetheart, considering how pretty you are, with your long hair?” Aunt Nicole chimes in: “If you don’t want to get beaten up, you might want to dress differently.” Uncle Stefan adds: “Don't you have any other problems?” – the question arises of how the spiteful discourse about life choices could be conducted respectfully or even become interesting. The "young ones" attempt to create a guideline for the next family celebration at Easter. But even in this small group, a closer look reveals that the questions only become more complicated…
Based on interviews with people from different backgrounds and perspectives, Suna Gürler (writer and director) explores in UNBOXING the joy of complex answers to big questions: What role should, can, or do I want to play? In a world where there is no consensus on how we should think about it? How much self-determination is possible?
