Relativity

Director: Mariko Minoguchi
2019, Farbe, 111 minutes

"Relativity implies that the future and the past have the same validity for the present," states the physicist Aron at the beginning. Shortly thereafter, he dies in the arms of his girlfriend Nora during a bank robbery, whereupon the film, an exciting love and crime drama, undertakes to prove his theory of how everything is connected, the past with the future.

Mariko Minoguchi was born in Munich in 1988 to a German mother and a Japanese father. At the age of 16, she completed an internship in editing and at the age of 18 she made her first short film - completely independently and without official support and without attending a film school. Instead, as an autodidact, she made other short films and was a member of the team of the Munich production company Trimaphilm until 2015. The premiere of her feature film debut, the love story "Mein Ende. Dein Anfang" ("Relativity") took place at the Munich Film Festival 2019; at the Biberach Film Festival, the film won the Audience Award.
