One victim of this Kafkaesque nightmare is a young mother, who has lived and worked in the USA for 10 years, is married to an American and has had a child with him. For this reason, she applies for a Greencard. The woman receives the permit and extends it to visit the grandparents in Germany. At the airport on her return, she finds out that the extension has lost its validity and that this could mean the beginning of the end of her life in the United States.

Directed by Mathias Schreck
Script Marc Hotz
Music Jens Grötzschel
Genre Animation, Comedy, Short, Tragicomedy

The story of Mr. Blumfisch, who one day explodes for unexplained reasons, is told in the style of a sensational TV report like those we see every day on TV. Was it an assassination?

But a bitter aftertaste remains.
