Kilimanjaro

A man on scaffolding in the evening. Scene from Kilimanjaro.

Story

Kilimanjaro looks at the biggest problems of the Western competitive society: burnout and depression.

Two friends who have hit a dead end in their relationships and work end up living under the same roof. One gives relationship advice although he is not in a relationship himself. The other has just been left, but cannot accept help even though his self-destructive behaviour cries out for it. Two broken people cannot hold each other up, so one of them has to take a brave leap into the unknown.

Meanwhile a flight attendant whose life looks glamorous from the outside has burned herself out, but cannot tell even her closest people. Instead she starts to break her own life with affairs and alcohol.
