Story: Victor takes his son Micha hunting for the first time, intending to involve him in his work as a hunter. Micha struggles to cope with the emotional challenges of killing to avoid disappointing his father. The hunt is interrupted by a phone call: Victor's father, Micha's grandfather, has passed away. This news deeply affects Micha, yet his father remains seemingly untouched. Micha wants to leave, but Victor insists on staying in the forest. Tension mounts, and the situation escalates. Eventually, Micha sees his father cry, but this sight overwhelms him so much that he turns back to the gun and shoots a deer.Block 18

Maximilian Dziduch
Maximilian Dziduch is a young director with Polish roots, born on April 17, 1997, in Offenbach. Growing up in a traditionally Polish family, he always felt conflicted about his cultural background. Films opened up a new and formative perspective on the world for him as a child, and he realized early on that he could find and express his own voice through the medium of film. After completing his high school education, Maximilian began his film studies at Darmstadt University, where he merged his passion for writing and drawing with his interest in filmmaking. During his studies, he directed numerous short films across different genres, developing his own style in the process. Since 2017, Maximilian has worked in various roles within the film industry, including completing an internship at Rocket Beans Entertainment GmbH in 2019. Since 2024, Maximilian has been studying directing at the renowned Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg in Germany.
