Eine zweite Chance

Let's celebrate life! You could best imagine Stephan Taubert's new film *A Second Chance* under this motto. Since his last film was unfortunately a few years ago and new projects could no longer be realized thanks to Corona, I am happy that he has made another new project, especially in the independent industry. There are only a few who work in this area and really put so much effort into producing a beautiful film that you can watch with few resources and good people. But with his latest work he has succeeded in doing this once again and it is a profound story about the love between a father and his son, as well as that of the main character for his family and friends and, above all, themes such as loyalty, emotions and humanity are of great importance Value. Don't miss out on films like this!

I was able to see the film at its premiere last night at the Passage Cinemas in Leipzig and it was a really great celebration! After almost 6 years, Stephan has put together a great team again and made a really nice film that you should definitely watch! I'm glad he didn't give up filmmaking after all. There are so many filmmakers in the independent sector who just keep doing the same thing, but nothing really good comes out of it, so I hope to see more from Stephan and his team after this successful comeback. Also a great thank you to the cast for this touching film, it was just great! Its 9/10.

*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!

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!

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.
