Herbstzeit

Herbstzeit tells the story of a retired head cashier who is struggling with the loss of his wife. Living in solitude, he clings to the hope of moving in with his son and his family once they build a house. However, his son, not wanting to shatter his father's dreams, hides the financial reality that the family cannot afford to build in the near future.

As the father's hopes begin to unravel, he resorts to desperate measures, ultimately reaching into the cash register of his former company. This act reflects the emotional turmoil and conflict that arise from familial obligations and the desire for connection. The film's portrayal of these themes may resonate with those interested in character-driven narratives from the late 1970s.
