Austria
Meike Wüstenberg
The elderly couple, Ernst and Leni, regularly bets on the last piece of chocolate. They make a bet as to which of them will die first. Both want to die before the other, but each for their own reasons. In a black-humored and unsentimental way, but with a big heart, both show that they don’t want to be without each other.
Meike, born in 1994 in Berlin, discovered a passion for film while studying European Media Studies at the University of Potsdam. She began making her own films as a writer and director and went on to study film directing at Vienna Film Academy, starting in 2018. Her short films screened at numerous international film festivals, including Pöff Shorts, Regard, and Hof International Film Festival. Meike was a recipient of the BMKÖS Start Scholarship for Film Art in 2023 and the screenplay scholarship Literar Mechana 2024.
