Café-Finovo

With patience and beauty, our understanding of mortality is altered as this film unfolds on life, laughter and Wilhelm Grimm. Within the walls of the Alter St. Matthäus cemetery in Berlin, we meet artists, story-tellers and grave sponsors— the cultural life revolving around the lively Café-finovo and its reputable cakes. Café-finovo is the first café in a cemetery in Germany.
