Überstunden

In this quietly tense 1965 drama, a weary office worker finds his routine unraveling as the demands of the day spill into the night. What begins as a routine project turns into a meditation on time, responsibility, and the choices we make when the clock refuses to stop ticking. Through intimate scenes and restrained dialogue, the film examines the human cost of endless labor and the fragile line between diligence and self-preservation. A haunting, deceptively simple study of fatigue, duty, and the small revolutions that happen inside a single, overlong shift.
