38^ Lovers Film Festival
ALL THE LOVERS

BONES AND NAMES

by Fabian Stumm
Country: Germany
Year: 2023
Duration: 104'


Boris and Jonathan are at the point in their relationship where they spend their evenings together, yet apart. One lies in bed reading scripts, and the other works in the next room. Deep in the rehearsals for a film with an ambitious director, for Boris the lines between reality and imagination begins to blur, while Jonathan struggles to redefine his voice as a writer. Then too, we find Josie, Boris’s niece, who, flitting about like Shakespeare’s Puck, is testing their limits. With humour and tenderness, Fabian Stumm ponders cleverly and playfully on relationships and their possible outcomes.
