Max-Ophüls-Preis 2004
A first encounter in a bar: Stefan, gay and hungry for life, meets Martin, a divorced family man, expecting a brief fling. But Martin reveals to Stefan that they’re brothers, and the next day they embark together on a journey to Cattolica, Italy, where their father’s trail was lost decades ago. During the trip the two opposites unravel their family secret and become real friends. "Cattolica" is the feature film début of Rudolph Jula, a graduate of the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (dffb).
