Contents/Summary

Summary
Children. As Time Flies is the third film in Thomas Heise’s “Jammed”- Trilogy about families from Halle-Neustadt, Germany. Now the director focuses on one family: Jeanette and her two sons Paul and Tommy, her parents and her youngest brother Tino. Everybody seems to have gone their own way: Jeanette has a daughter, a lasting relationship and a job as a bus driver, as she always wanted. Paul excels in school and football, unlike his brother Tommy, who fights his way through life and struggles to stay in school at all. He has severed all contact with his mother. Jeanette’s parents have moved to the countryside and rarely communicate with their daughter. With them lives Tino, who identifies himself as a Nazi but can’t talk to his father about it. Today’s footage is intercut with material from 1999 and creates a picture of speechlessness and stagnation. A social close-up of an ordinary family. Life as it flows.
