Between The Lines

by Niklas Pollmann

Filmakademie Wien, Austria

Synopsis

Your place or mine? A fleeting acquaintance can be exciting, adventurous, funny, but also opaque or even threatening. Shot in a single shot, "Between The Lines" explores the nuances of such a situation. Between the tracks of an underground station, the outlines of two people and their stories slowly emerge.
