Synopsis
Long Story Short (Feste & Freunde – Ein Hoch auf uns!, 2025) is a German tragicomedy you can watch online on iFILM. It follows five friends across three years, and every reunion comes with a table to set — birthdays, weddings, housewarmings, wakes.
Ellen, Natalie, Rolf, Sebastian and Mareike show up for all of it: to toast a win, to sit with a loss, to say goodbye. Between the speeches and the awkward pauses, the film quietly admits how fragile grown-up friendship is. People drift, move away, fall for the wrong person, fall out over nothing. We only ever see them at the party; everything that matters happens in the gaps in between.
Director David Dietl assembles a sharp German ensemble — Laura Tonke, Annette Frier, Nicholas Ofczarek among them. It plays light, then lands on a plain, heavy question: what's left of us once the people we celebrated with are gone. Stream Long Story Short (2025) online on iFILM.
