Chrigu

Jan Gassmann, Christian Ziörjen

“Let’s make a documentary together,” says Chrigu. “Then I will get out at some point.” The story of a young man who had great plans for his future. After a tumour in an advanced stage was discovered in his neck at the age of 24, he has been fighting for his life. Jan Gassmann accompanies him with the camera, thereby creating a film not about death, but much more about life. Christian himself began very early with filmmaking and was making his own films already at the age of 16. At parties, concerts, on a trip to India, his camera was always with him. Apart from his family, we also get to know the members of the hip-hop band “Mundartisten”. Jan has succeeded in creating a moving and surprising portrait of his best friend.
