Chafilmfest.com. Tauwetter Philip Honig’s Tauwetter mixes the crime genre with a lyrical sense of memory and loss. It focuses on two reluctant criminals; members of rival German gangs chasing the same bag of stolen money while simultaneously trying to start new lives away from violence and crime. Along the way, they must confront their consciences, their childhood memories, the pull of their loved ones, and, finally, the bloody reality of the underworld. Tauwetter explores just what it means to be a “good person” when one’s life and livelihood are at risk. ShakeSPHERE: Romeo & Juliet SPHERE is an organization based in Ridgefield, Connecticut that provides outreach programs for the developmentally disabled.

In the film, Romeo and Juliet, who both have Downs Syndrome, reenact the plot of Shakespeare’s classic play in vernacular language in a series of suburban homes, sometimes wearing Elizabethan garb, but always willing to wield an anachronistic prop in the name of comedy.
