Germania | 1994 | 6’54’’
A cold winter day. Two men, a porter and his master, arrive at a frozen lake which they need to cross. No one wants to go first. So they both try every trick to let the other one go ahead. During their struggle to stay behind the other, they even forget about the fact that they belong to different classes.
