Valerie (Corinna Harfouch) is looking for her son Simon. Last lived and worked in Marseille, but for a week, he seems disappeared without a trace. Simon's mother is from Germany set off into the sunny port city, to share with Jens (Nico Rogner), the ex-friend of her son to find out where he was staying and whether it could be something happening. But the relationship between the two is tense because the irascible Valerie Jens once rejected and the sexual identity of her son apparently was not serious enough. In the search for the truth will gradually confronted with the question of whether they seemed to know their Simon really as good as they thought before. Jan Krüger After two years of his esoteric relationship history "tailwind" presented in the Panorama, he has traveled with "Search" this year to the Forum of the Berlinale. Here and there turns out the travel motif as a key issue, strange places seem to act Krueger movies always as an emotional catalyst. Now this is a significant step towards a cozy indie mainstream, set with a large established actress of German film and sufficiently carefully staged in order to fill various cinemas. Straightforward and at times almost like a dramatic thriller constructed, the film focuses on an organically developed and use rich screenplay, which, though not necessarily in the classical sense, a certain kind generated by voltage. The search for the lost child is the focus, the between-human drama comes almost automatically
Krüger has developed significantly as a director with a sure hand and without elaboration, he drives the plot forward, what the film from his predecessor is very different. Even a high level of comic dialogue and situations, he slows down. Still leaves "Searching" a somewhat mixed impression: Introduced as a central (mother) figure, Valerie moved from unknown reason more and more into the background. The film remains constantly in Jens, follows his search for the ex-boyfriend cut, always back to him when one longs for the better play by Harfouch. Krueger pronounced gay aesthetic is also once again with very worn cliches interspersed - there is no dramatic reason for the ex-boyfriend of the missing son put naked under the shower, except perhaps to return once the Pimmelquote of queer cinema to be of service.
