Deadly Enemy

Prior to her award-winning gentrification exposé BETONGOLD Katrin Rothe directed the German-German love story DIE EX BIN ICH. Set in an East Berlin squat shortly after the fall of the Wall it features animation sequences and shooting stars Friedrike Kempter (“Berlin Coffee“) and Tino Mewes (“The Wave”).

“With her feature film DIE EX BIN ICH Katrin Rothe gives intense insights into the Berlin squatter scene at the beginning of the 1990s. In intermittent dreamlike animated flashback sequences, main character Bert tells his story from beyond the grave, complementing the live action scenes of the main plot. Bert rationalizes, tells and explains his decisions, thoughts and experiences. The soundtrack masterfully underlines the grief and desperation- as well as the memories of a happiness long past.”
