Frank Drannemann kocht wahrhaft göttlich, trotzdem steht sein Feinschmeckerlokal "La Vie" vor dem Ruin; denn seit dem Unfalltod seiner Frau vergräbt sich Frank in seinem Kummer und vernachlässigt seine Gäste. In der Not schließt sein Schwiegervater und Geschäftspartner Georg Krimmler über Franks Kopf hinweg einen Vertrag mit Marlene Renners Reisegesellschaft "Gourmet-Tours" ab. Die geschäftstüchtige Reisebegleiterin betreut Touristen, die auf ihren internationalen Städtetouren in guten Restaurants einkehren - zu denen nun auch das "La Vie" gehört. Doch der Sternekoch will keine Gäste am Fließband abfertigen - so geht es mit dem Restaurant weiter bergab. Als Frank sich wider Erwarten in die patente Marlene verliebt, kommt doch noch Leben ins "La Vie".

“The bear leaves Berlin. It is fed up with its city. On the way two Russian ladies, Anna and her daughter Arisha, hire him as a driver. They are joined by a Santa Claus who despises Christmas and a Vietnamese family who are on their way to the sea. They sing a song together, The Weeping Song by Nick Cave. And they are out to find a stone ring that is buried on the beach. The film was commissioned by a Japanese car museum. There you could see the film with six smells (!), sitting on car seats that would tilt in corners and shake on cobble stone pavement. This small film saved a big one’s life: FARAWAY, SO CLOSE! could not have been finished for financial reasons if this opportunity to make a short film with the same team had not arisen. That is how we financed the last week of shooting FARAWAY, SO CLOSE!.”

Yael Hersonski's powerful documentary achieves a remarkable feat through its penetrating look at another film-the now-infamous Nazi-produced film about the Warsaw Ghetto. Discovered after the war, the unfinished work, with no soundtrack, quickly became a resource for historians seeking an authentic record, despite its elaborate propagandistic construction. The later discovery of a long-missing reel complicated earlier readings, showing the manipulations of camera crews in these "everyday" scenes. Well-heeled Jews attending elegant dinners and theatricals (while callously stepping over the dead bodies of compatriots) now appeared as unwilling, but complicit, actors, alternately fearful and in denial of their looming fate.
