German spoken, English subtitles (English title: The Gaze)
Klaus (mid-thirties) spends his summer holidays in a hot Airbnb apartment in the big city. The flat
is owned by a midwife, which Klaus - having a deep-rooted fear of kids - sees as an unlucky sign.
Frustrated with life, he doesn’t do much apart from endlessly swiping on his phone, warming up
microwave meals and spying on neighbors through a camcorder with an extreme zoom function.
The TV is always on in the background, spreading a constant stream of negativity. An ongoing civil
war in the US being the dominating topic. He leaves the apartment as little as possible, since he
prefers the safety of his private space. There, he can hide behind his camera while observing the
outside world.
But is Klaus only looking at others, or is he being looked at himself as well?
