CRACKING CONCRETE follows a nameless flâneuse on her ramble through a German city.
It remains unclear where she comes from and where she is going. Sometimes she is an invisible voyeur, now and then a childish player or an annoying stranger. Her role shifts constantly from the observer to the observed and back. The feeling of arriving nowhere accompanies the protagonist on her restless journey through the summer night, just like the words of a friend sending her voice messages from afar. In the short film, documentary elements merge with a fictional context.
