Title: I Thought You Were In Germany
Storyline: Set in a dreamlike, surreal world, this short film follows Valentine, an eccentric young man carrying a fish named Ruth in a plastic bag.
On what seems like an ordinary Tuesday, Valentine spots two distant figures on the beach. One wears a headband that stirs memories of Jonas, a long-lost friend who once said he was leaving for Germany.
This sighting sparks Valentine’s quest to find out if it really is Jonas and, if so, to finally return the fish he has been keeping safe all these years. The film combines absurd humour with heartfelt emotion, blending mystery, memory, and a sense of longing for connection
