Scene from Puls

Luise Berger (Claudia Hübschmann) is a successful theatre actress who directs every moment of her own life. Then she has to go into a municipal hospital to wait for an operation, and the everyday routine of the ward – Nurse Sybille, Dr Jacobi, the rituals of care – begins to crack the glass bell jar between her and the world. The short film “Puls” (Germany 2015) by Till Gerstenberger shows a woman losing control over her carefully constructed role.
