Die Reste meines Lebens

Everything is falling into place for Schimon. He has the career he always dreamed of, a wife he loves deeply, and a child on the way. Then disaster hits. Has everything fallen apart? Or is Schimon allowed to start anew? German director Jens Wischnewski's first feature is an honest examination of devastating loss that has the bravery to approach its topic with a life-affirming and comic spirit. The title What's Left of My Life is both a question and a statement: Schimon survives catastrophe, slowly picks up the pieces and, just as importantly, leaves space in his life for the unexpected, whether good or bad.
