Berlinale 2010: "I Shot My Love" Trailer (Berlin Film Festival Feature)

As part of our culture-gems spotlight, we're featuring one of the most thought provoking and highly discussed foreign independent movies at the recent Berlin Film Festival 2010, the Berlinale. A unique different look at a modern German-Israeli love affair.


Seventy years after his grandfather escapes from Nazi Germany to Palestine, Israeli documentary director Tomer Heymann returns to the country of his ancestors to present his film Paper Dolls at the Berlin International Film Festival, and there meets a man who will change his life.

This 48-hour love affair, originating in Berghain Panorama Bar, develops into a significant relationship between Tomer and Andreas Merk, a German dancer. When Andreas decides to move to Tel-Aviv, he not only has to cope with a new partner, but to manage the complex realities of life in Israel and his personal connection to it as a German citizen.

Tomer's mother, descendent of German immigrants was born and lived all her life in a small Israeli village, where she raised five sons. One by one, she watches her children leave the country she and her family helped to build, and now cannot help but try to influence the life of Tomer, the one son who remains.

I SHOT MY LOVE tells a personal but universal love story and follows the triangular relationship between Tomer, his German boyfriend, and his intensely Israeli mother. * Written and directed by: Tomer Heymann * Producers: Barak Heymann, Tomer Heymann * Co-producer: Carl-Ludwig Rettinger * Commissioning Editor: Sabine Rollberg * Research: Tali-Shamir Werzberger * Cameraman: Tomer Heymann * Editor: Ido Mochrick * Original Score: Israel Bright & Eran Weitz


The film was co-produced with WDR/ARTE and was fund by The New Foundation for Cinema & T.V, The Jewish Theatre Stockholm, Foundation for Jewish Culture and Gesher Multicultural Film Fund.
