Born in Berlin in 1983, she worked as an assistant first in the theatre and later in film before taking up a degree in directing at the University of Television and Film in Munich in 2009. In 2013, she studied film dramaturgy at the NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and, in 2015, she embarked on a master’s degree in screenwriting at the London Film School. Her debut feature film, All Good, premiered at Locarno where it won the Best First Feature award. The work went on to receive numerous other prizes, including the Woman in Motion Award at Cannes and the German Film Critics’ Award.
Ivo works as a palliative home-care nurse. Every day, she visits families, couples and single people. They live in small flats and large houses. They all have different lives and deaths. They all have different ways of dealing with the time that remains. At home, Ivo’s teenage daughter has long since become independent. From morning to night, Ivo drives around in her old Skoda which she has made into her personal living space. Here, she eats her meals, works, sings, swears and dreams. One of her patients, Solveigh, has become a close friend. Ivo has also formed a relationship with Solveigh’s husband, Franz. Day after day, the two work together to care for Solveigh. And they sleep with each other. Solveigh’s strength is diminishing and she soon has to rely on support for the simplest tasks. She wants the final decision to be her own: she wants Ivo to help her die.
