Dublin's IFI is currently running a short Kinofest from October 10 to 13.
It's a presentation of new German cinema presented in partnership with the Goethe-Institut. The emphasis is very much on emerging talent.
Last night's film was 'Life Is No Piece Of Cake'.
When teacher Babette dies in an accident, husband Markus and 15-year-old daughter Kim are left to pick up the pieces.
The film traces their lives. It's sad but funny too.
A good film. An example how love and friendship can win out in spite of all the mess and fragility.
Note. To watch a film like this and then to compare it to some of the pious religious words that are currently in the blogsphere make one stop and think.
How out of touch, how unreal, are all those words wrapped up in holy lore. So sanctimonious and unreal and little if anything to do with the real world or truth.
