The Filmkunstbar Fitzcarraldo is a microcosm with our permanent employees, the regular customers and friends who are always there somehow. A microcosm over two floors, below the video store, above the bar or disco. Outside our garden with the silver birches. And then there are the little corners, which one discovers only with time... At some point I realized how much time I spent in this small world of about 200 square meters! I used to go to Bar 25 or anywhere else in Berlin almost every day. But in the meantime... That's what In the corridors is about. From a microcosm. Christian (Franz Rogowski) starts his new work there, in the wholesale market. In the beverage department. He meets the "chief", Bruno (Peter Kurth), who takes care of him. Bruno shows Christian how the mechanics of the forklift works and how to get boxes out of the upper shelves. Then he meets Marion (the great Sandra Hüller) in the corridors, who calls him a "newbie". He invites her to a vending machine coffee and we're in the middle of a love story. Or is it? Marion suffers under her husband and at some point she doesn't come to work. Christian's whole world is getting into an imbalance... When do we even perceive people like Marion and Christian? If we shop across the street at the Penny Market? We probably don't notice them at all and that's why there are films like In the Corridors. We dive into their (East) German world, spend about two hours with them. In the corridors has humor, is tender and watches very closely. We think we know the world of Marion and Christian a little better afterwards.
