"Marvins Place" is the first part of a documentary film series in which Julian B. and Marc S., two film students, monitor the lives of young city residents with their camera over a long stretch of time and record their attitudes towards relationships, career, loneliness, God and the world.

​

The first part centers mainly around the student of business administration, Marvin, a good-hearted student coming from a humble background and his relationship with his flatmate Denise.

​

Marvin fights for the affection of his emotional flatmate and at the same time tries to find his place among his fellow students. A task which is not always easy in a cold, and superficial environment.With each new intimate interview, the film crew finds it increasingly harder to keep the professional distance while witnessing Marvin’s painful attempts to gain a small amount of happiness.

​

At film school, Julian and Marc are taught the principle of non-interference and just recording what you see. But life outside is more complicated. In the end they have to make a decision.
Will it be a professional one or a human one?

​

“Marvins Place” is a subtle, intimate character study and an attempt to newly interpret the relationship between the person in front of a camera and those behind it.
A film pleading for authenticity, openness and the need to overcome borders.
