Synopsis:
Momentum is a film that deals with conflict in human life. It's about failure and success represented by two intervening principles embodied in men and women. The gist is mutual understanding and the change in life.
The film shows how two young people come together in an unexpected situation in their lives. They see each other for the first time in a library. At a second meeting they notice that they have the same interests and needs. Their initial conversation develops into an intense discussion. Everything revolves around a mysterious book which offers wisdom from an ancient time. Based upon their past experience, they have a difference of opinion about the book's message, which leads to a fundamental disagreement among them. They go their separate ways for the time being. Eventually they begin to acquire a better understanding of each other's position.
Forced to face their own doubts and misgivings, they begin to understand how their different approach to life complements each other. They learn to let go of the past and confidently look to the future.

Info:
Momentum was produced at Lake Constance in Southern Germany during a school project of Alexander Bergmann in collaboration with his friends of the 12th grade. At the age of 17 Alexander finished the screenplay of Momentum. The production was completed one year later in spring 2013. Since then Momentum is nominated and awarded on several international film festivals around the world.
