ABOUT DELAY
The classical staged short stands out due to its silent and intensive pictures, arranged for the big screen. Silence and clarity accompany Markus Schoenen´s contained acting, which describes Tom´s desperation as well as his paralysis. So it carries a situation in which numerous young people of his generation may find themselves.
For its aesthetics and poetical imagery, Delay is a visual piece of art that inspires to reflect and activates the audiences imagination.

SYNOPSIS
After his successful debut, the guitarist Tom has to prove himself again. With his great demands he unsettles himself and distances from his environment. Only after his great love Anna shuts him out, he finally realises, that he caused the end of their relationship by his caginess. By trying to win her back, he recognises, that he hears everything delayed since Anna left. So he loses his most important ability for his work as a musician and therefore his base for life and love. Now Tom is forced to free himself out of his lethargy and to face his problem…
