Eine zweite Chance

One thing you can say about Stephan's films is that they may not always have the latest story, but you can always see in every film that he always wants to get the best out of the few things that are available to him. This time too he succeeded wonderfully. It's been 18 years since his first film, which was used as a triple premiere this year. A new film, anniversary of the first film and a completely new song written for the film for the first time. The best thing you can really say is that words like love, humanity and loyalty best describe this film. The love between a father and his son, the humanity that the main actress has to find again after her long, serious illness and the loyalty and love of her friends. Guys, the film may not have the latest basic idea, but it's definitely worth seeing and really beautifully done!

Sometimes things happen that can change someone's life forever. On her 31st birthday, Charlotte Zwanzig learns quite tragically that she has a serious illness and that her life has changed completely as a result. Stephan Taubert's new film shows very well how she changes as a result and has to find a way back to life, played wonderfully by Maxi Remus. At the end of the premiere there was a well-deserved Oscar not only for her. The love for her family, her boyfriend, as well as the love between a father and his son are the central themes of the film. A superbly written script with lots of humor, but also drama and emotional scenes that are wonderfully implemented. This is what more films from the independent industry should look like. A big shout out to everyone who made this film! Wonderfully done!

*A Second Chance* (written and directed by Stephan Taubert) is another very positive example of how you can make a really good film as a freelancer despite fewer opportunities. It has heart, excitement, humanity, everything a film needs to appeal to audiences, especially these days. The story is pretty good, even though it may not have the latest original, but you can tell how much love and work was put into this project and the actors all do a great job! Highly recommended, don't miss this little film gem! A beautiful story that revolves around the love of a son for his father and a young woman who plays a special role in both of their lives. This is how you make films that are well received!

18 years have now passed since *An Inspector Calls* - Stephan's first film - premiered and you can clearly see, if you have followed it, how things have continued to improve from film to film. The actors kept getting better, the scripts kept getting better written and the quality of the product kept increasing. With *A Second Chance* - thanks also to a great cast - he has created a wonderful, beautiful film that has a good mix of drama and comedy. There are many scenes where you can laugh, but also touching scenes where you can cry. Everything is taken care of. It was a great pleasure to be at the premiere last night and I hope to be able to see more of Stephan's films in the future.

I also went to the premiere of *A Second Chance* at the Passage Cinemas in Leipzig on May 4th because I was really looking forward to Stephan Taubert's new film. I wasn't disappointed in the least, the film turned out really wonderful! During the pandemic, he often said that he didn't want to make films anymore and that he had lost his love for it, but if you have the right people with you, it'll work out again! I am very grateful to have been able to watch this film last night and would immediately recommend it to everyone. Love, humanity and, above all, loyalty are among the points that make up *A Second Chance*. Not only romantic love, but also the love between father and son plays a major role. The actors all did a great job and the whole setting and editing was just great! Guys, watch this film and help Stephan and his team continue to make his works better known. 10/10.
