GZH, in association with Lamakaan, invites you to two short films, AMOR FATI & MILAN, as part of its monthly German Movie Night screening.

AMOR FATI

Director: Dennis Todorović | 2005 | 16 min

A quiet, intimate meditation on choice, chance, and inevitability. Amor Fati- to love one’s fate- follows a young man confronting the aftermath of an irreversible loss. Through sparse dialogue and restrained imagery, the film explores how identity is shaped not by grand gestures, but by the silent acceptance of what cannot be changed. Tender, unsettling, and deeply human, it asks a deceptively simple question: Do we choose our lives, or do we learn to live with what chooses us?

MILAN

Director: Michaela Kezele | 2007 | 22 min

Set against the lingering shadows of war, Milan is a stark portrait of childhood interrupted. The film observes a young boy navigating a fractured world where play and violence uneasily coexist. Told with minimal dialogue and powerful visual restraint, the story captures how conflict seeps into everyday life- into homes, streets, and imaginations. Rather than dramatizing war, Milan reveals its quiet aftershocks: confusion, resilience, and the premature loss of innocence.
