Automotive
20-year-old Sedanur spends her nights sorting car parts on the assembly
line for the robots. She dreams of driving her own Mercedes one day. But when the diesel crisis kicks in, she is one of the
first to be let go. At the same time, 33-year old Eva, a headhunter working for the factory, is looking for experts to automate
some of their logistics. One day, even her own job will be replaced by algorithms, but by then she plans to be living in the
Caribbean. Two very different representatives of a generation in which, sooner or later, everyone will be replaceable. (Berlinale)
Director's Biography
Jonas Heldt: Having grown up in a small Bavarian
village where whoever drove a Bavarian-made car was considered to have made it in life, Jonas Heldt moved to Berlin where
he began to make his first documentaries and also worked as a radio reporter. His grandfather's salary as a steelworker was
enough to feed seven children and to eventually afford an Audi A3. In 2013 Jonas Heldt founded the directors' collective MOTEL
Film.
