Shooting "Street of lost hearts"

Film content:

In the near future, Coby (32), the introverted CEO of a large tech company, visits the Emo(tion) Line. In his huge laboratory hideaway, where he grows extinct plants, he spends the night with Ezra (58), a climate refugee who offers her emotional services as a mother for money on the Emo line.

‘Street of Lost Hearts’ is the postgraduate diploma film by Alexander Nowak at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne (KHM). The film sheds light on the feelings and needs of people living in a world in decline. What can Ezra and Coby, whose realities of life could not be more different, give each other to fill their inner emptiness and hopelessness with something that still gives their lives meaning? 

Shooting took place from 19 to 20 October 2023 in our church of St. John XXIII.
