" Who We Will Have Been is one of the most poignant love stories I've ever seen."
"...a bittersweet, poetic and painfully personal collage of a love that ended abruptly."
"Who We Will Have Been"
in cinemas from July 14, 2022
A film by Erec Brehmer
and Angelina Zeidler
"An ode to life and a love story beyond death."
"...among the most heartbreaking things to be seen in cinema in a long time."
"...an emotionally moving but also relentlessly honest work about not letting go."
"Life and death, presence and forever-before are intertwined here in a way they can only be in cinema."
"A small film that couldn't be bigger."
Ludwig Sporrer, DOK.fest Munich
SYNOPSIS
For filmmaker Erec Brehmer, a world collapses when his longtime partner Angelina Zeidler dies in a common car accident. With the help of amateur videos, voice messages, diary entries and music they listened to together, he sets out to find places and situations in which he can meet his deceased girlfriend again. The result is not only a powerful, authentic document of coming to terms with grief, but also a sensual invitation to life.
A story about identity after the loss of a loved one - and a love story beyond death.
