Dir.: Christian Klandt, 109 min., Germany 2019
In German with English subtitles

Leif in Concert follows a day in the life of bartender Lene. Leif is supposed to play a gig that night and while preparing the bar Lene is joined by friends, acquaintances and strangers. Everyone gets to listen to Leif’s music, which triggers something different in them all: a smile, a memory, the desire to dance. Then there are the regulars. We eavesdrop, learn about fairy-pop, invisible mobile phones and giant snails. Their stories and lives intersect here. Every detail and anecdote contributes to Lene’s larger story and to this family that makes this gloomy, smokey bar the best place in the world. "Leif in Concert" is a declaration of love to music and to that one local bar that everyone knows, that home away from home, where you can be who you are.

Leif in Concert won the German Cinema New Talent Award (Producer Prize) at the Munich Film Festival 2019.
