A rainy night, a car breaks down, an old house in the middle of nowhere with a light burning in the window. Soaking wet, Markus knocks on the door - and interrupts Renee in the middle of her pottery. She’s suspicious of the young stranger, but interested. An Adonis is missing from her artistic collection of dildos. It’s only a matter of warming to the occasion, and she’s in the flush of life. So she reaches for Apollinaire on the book shelf. . .and a jar of honey.

Despite just four student films in his portfolio, Bernd Heiber had already made a name for himself as an author and stage director. Further, he could boast of a promising record at key international festivals. His short feature Scheissleben (Shit-Life) (1996), a black comedy set in Berlin’s demimonde, was seen at Saarbrücken. And his diploma film, Klopfen (Knocking) (1998), a psycho-thriller with touches of Edgar Allan Poe delirium, was invited to Cottbus. After THE NIGHT NURSE, NR. 23 is Bernd Heiber\'s second EROTIC TALE for ZIEGLER FILM. He is currently in prepreation for his first feature film with the working title HEARTKILLER, to be realised in 2003.

Peter has a dream job. He is a popular magician in a posh Prague nightclub, whose act draws more applause than the strippers. He has got an eye-catching assistant who is ready and willing to cuddle his frayed nerves whenever necessary. But heŽs also got Sylvia on his neck: a pert, scatterbrained sister who forgets that a toss in the hay may just be worth a wedding ring. Things take a turn for the better ? or worse? ? when he discovers he possesses extra - letŽs say, supernatural ? powers that enable him to see into the future, hear music by rubbing his finger over a CD, and God knows what. The problem? Peter cannot control anything any more like he used to ? neither his magic act, nor his love life, nor his sisterŽs latest erotic fantasy.

Did You Ever

The Californian desert, somewhere between Death Valley and Los Angeles. She - pert, forward, a ball of fire - has just thrown her mobile away after an angry tete-a-tete with her (ex-) boyfriend. He - rugged, handsome, the independent outdoor type - is hitching a ride back to LA and knows a good bet when he sees one. A road movie with ploys and fantasies, arm-wrestling and one-upmanship, Justin Stauber?s ?Did You Ever Have Sex Like This?? is a throwback to the Pat & Mike, Tracy & Hepburn screwball comedies.

THE DIRECTOR - JUSTIN LEONARD STAUBER
Justin Leonard Stauber lives and works in Berlin and Los Angeles. With his first 35mm short "THE HAPPY ENDING" he created a thought satirical provoking shortfilm about human rights and the way people communicate nowadays.

German TV recently broadcasted a œ hour documentary about him and this work.
