GoetheKino: A Heartwarming Look at Aging and Music

Discover the Power of Music and Community

Join us for a special screening of the German documentary Heaven Can Wait — We Live Now (Heaven Can Wait — Wir leben jetzt), directed by Sven Halfar. This inspiring film takes us into the world of an extraordinary choir in Hamburg, where every member is over 70 years old.

Rather than focusing on the limitations often associated with aging, the film celebrates the vibrant lives of these individuals. Through their shared passion for singing, they find a powerful way to connect, express their dreams, and embrace new experiences. It is a beautiful reminder that life, love, and friendship continue to flourish long after seventy.

Post-Screening Discussion

Following the film, we invite you to stay for an insightful discussion in English. We will be joined by:

• Andri Irakleus: Music therapist and performer
• Olga Kurelu: Film scholar

The conversation will explore the profound impact of music on emotional well-being, the importance of resilience, and how creativity keeps us connected to ourselves and our community.

This screening is part of the fourth season of GoetheKino, titled "Questions of What Remains," which thoughtfully examines memory, relationships, and the evolving stages of our lives. Whether you are a documentary enthusiast or simply looking for a story that resonates, we would love to see you there.
