Not how they got together, not a period that they live through, but their common time: all the years between the first kiss and now.' --- # Paths ![](https://www.einweg-film.de/user/pages/01.about/Teaser_Website.jpg) **1h 47 min** | Drama | 2017 ## Synopsis A small quiet place in Thuringia. Andreas' (42) workshop is running well again and Martin (43) is not as much on the road as before. Son Max (19) is out of the house. Finally, the two have more time for themselves and travel in November to the Baltic Sea - as they have always done it before. But Martin is dissatisfied: the weather is bad and he would have preferred to stay at home. Andreas tears off his clothes and throws himself into the cold sea. Full of care, Martin tries to pull him back and swallows the salty water as he stumbles. Back in their holiday home the mood is disturbed by the different expectations. A cautious approach to the traces of a long relationship. *Paths* tells the love of two people. Not how they got together, not a period that they live through, but their common time: all the years between the first kiss and now. ## Media popandfilms.fr - 25.11.2018 [Gaspard Granaud - (FR)](https://popandfilms.fr/ein-weg-chris-miera/) nosferadio.dk - 30.10.2018 [Mille Backhausen - (EN)](http://www.nosferadio.dk/paths-paa-mix/) abusdecine.com - 27.07.2018 [Olivier Bachelard - (FR)](http://www.abusdecine.com/critique/paths) taz.de - 01.03.2018 [Ekkehard Knörer - (DE)](http://www.taz.de/!5488233/) spiegel.de - 11.01.2018 [ Jan Künemund - (DE)](http://www.spiegel.de/kultur/kino/ein-weg-filmkritik-lieber-langstrecke-a-1187105.html) sissy-mag.de - 10.01.2018 [Frank Brenner - (DE)](http://www.sissymag.de/ein-weg/) filmdienst.de - 08.01.2018 [Stefan Volk - (DE)](https://www.filmdienst.de/film/details/550707/ein-weg#kritik) kino.de - 03.01.2018 [Redaktion von kino.de - (DE)](https://www.kino.de/film/ein-weg-2017/) film-rezensionen.de - 03.01.2018 [Oliver Armknecht 8/10 - (DE)](https://www.film-rezensionen.de/2018/01/ein-weg/) programmkino.de - 14.12.2017 [Björn Schneider (DE)](https://www.programmkino.de/content/Filmkritiken/ein-weg-auf-den-spuren-einer-langen-beziehung/) queerguru.com - 26.06.2017 [Roger Walker-Dack at queerguru.com (EN)](http://queerguru.com/2017/06/paths) nuvol.com - 15.06.2017 [Abel Lacruz at novul.com (SP)](http://www.nuvol.com/noticies/fire-sobreviure-a-la-foguera/) metalmagazine.eu - 08.06.2017 [Lara Úbeda at metalmagzine.eu (SP)](http://metalmagazine.eu/es/post/article/fire-el-amor-es-politico) reviewsbyamoslassen.com - 07.06.2017 [Amos Lassen at reviewsbyamoslassen.com (EN)](http://reviewsbyamoslassen.com/?p=58035) pszeitung.ch - 05.05.2017 [Thierry Frochaux at pszeitung.ch (DE)](http://www.pszeitung.ch/denkst-du-wir-sind-in-europa/) anonimacinefili.it - 09.04.2017 [Matteo Illiano at anonimacinefili.it (IT)](http://www.anonimacinefili.it/2017/04/09/lucca-2017-paths-quando-la-semplicita-paga-recensione/) nafilmu.cz - 25.02.2017 [Jana Trnková at nafilm.cz (CZ)](http://nafilmu.cz/2017/02/nejlepsi-filmy-67-berlinale/) kino-zeit.de - 14.02.2017 [Harald Mühlbeyer at kino-zeit.de (DE)](http://www.kino-zeit.de/blog/berlinale-2017/berlinale-2017-ein-weg-von-chris-miera) Negativ Film - 19.02.2017 [Martin Gobbin at negativ-film.de: Martin Gobbins Berlinale Fazit (DE)](http://www.negativ-film.de/martin-gobbins-berlinale-tagebuch-10/) MOZ - 16.02.2017 [Gitta Dietrich at Märkischen Oderzeitung: Querdenker erwünscht (DE)](http://www.moz.de/artikel-ansicht/dg/0/1/1552582) Negativ Film - 15.02.2017 [Martin Gobbin at negativ-film.de: Filmkritik (DE)](http://www.negativ-film.de/martin-gobbins-berlinale-tagebuch-7/) Fred Carpet - 14.02.2017 [Fred Carpet at fredcarpet.com (EN)](https://www.fredcarpet.com/berlinale-2017-von-schwulen-kreuzfahrten-bis-zu-inspirierende-fragen-zur-kreativitaet-tag-5/) Stagescreen - 14.02.2017 [Sascha Krieger at stagescreen.wordpress.com (EN)](https://stagescreen.wordpress.com/2017/02/14/berlinale-2017-day-5/) Teddy Blog - 13.02.2017 [Tag 5: FANTASTISCHE FRAUEN (DE)](http://blog.teddyaward.tv/blog/2017/02/13/tag-5-fantastic-women/) PNN - 13.02.2017 [Lena Schneider at Potsdamer Neuste Nachrichten: Wenn eine Liebe stirbt (DE)](http://www.pnn.de/potsdam-kultur/1156963/) Tagesspiegel - 07.02.2017 [Nadine Lange at Tagesspiegel: Spiegel im Spiegel (DE)](http://www.tagesspiegel.de/berlin/queerspiegel/queere-berlinale-filme-spiegel-im-spiegel/19357294.html) Berliner Zeitung - 01.02.2017 [Maike Schultz at Berliner Zeitung: Berlinale Diese zehn tollen Berlin-Filme dürfen Sie nicht verpassen](http://www.berliner-zeitung.de/kultur/film/berlinale-diese-zehn-tollen-berlin-filme-duerfen-sie-nicht-verpassen-25613046) ## Credits **With:** Mike Hoffmann, Mathis Reinhardt, Tom Böttcher, Cai Cohrs **Screenplay:** Philipp Österle & Chris Miera **Director of Photography & Directed by:** Chris Miera **Assistent Director:** Alexander Weiz **Editor:** Mirko Scheel **Sound Supervisor:** Philipp Schwabe **Sound Mixing:** Christoph Walter **Composer:** Matija Strniša **Costume Designer:** Sonja Hesse **Line Producer:** Anya Grünewald **Producer:** Chris Miera **Co-Production:** Hildebrandt Film **World Sales:** LOCO FILMS **Production:** Filmuniversität Babelsberg *KONRAD WOLF* --- ## Navigation - Next: [News](https://www.einweg-film.de/en/news.md)
