About AMEL?
"Amel? is a project that is close to our hearts. Already during the development of the script it was clear that it had to be our next film, although other projects were in the pipeline. The simple story in a unique guise fascinates us. 'Amel?' embodies for us a film that we ourselves would like to see in the cinema: authentic, emotional, without kitsch or drama. The film should give pleasure, captivate the viewer and make him think. The main character Thomas' perplexity and restlessness reflect many human experiences and facilitate identification. Surprising twists and characters keep the tension high.
