"Kann ja noch kommen", which means roughly "it could still come", is a German 15-minute live action short film from 2013, so this one has its 5th anniversary this year and this award-winning movie is probably among the most known for writer Fehling and director Döring, even if this doesn't mean too much as both did not (yet) make it beyond short film making. Anyway, the somewhat big names here are probably the male actors. Erdmann was in quite a few known productions, but Max Mauff of course is the closest we got to a star here and this is also mostly thanks to his recognition values. Here he plays the father of a baby who is about to be given away from him and the mother to a couple willing to adopt the little one as they cannot have any children themselves, or very unlikely. The title is also a comment by Mauff fittingly. It's a lot about women being among each other and men too and I thought the best moment is when we see the baby crying, or I should say "hear", and we see the mother's doubts if she is doing the right thing in letting another woman be the one in charge of giving solace. Anyway, it's also a bit about old and new relationships when it comes to the child's biological parents and how the latter ones are getting in the way of them having a future together. At the end, we find out the (for the mother) bitter truth why the young man started looking for a job and seemingly was successful too. She really got replaced and everybody who did so, know the feeling and how really unpleasant it feels, also in completely other fields. Anyway, short films often deliver a lot through the ending, so that people forget how mediocre, maybe even weak, the movie was before that in its entirety. This description does not fit here. I am a bit undecided if I liked the ending, but yeah, it is a pretty solid watch as a whole. I recommend checking it out, also to foreign audiences if they are lucky enough to get a good set of subtitles. Thumbs-up for this one here, not a great film or anything, but worth seeing. Solid acting, writing and direction with some nice camera shots in fact maybe the film's biggest strength even. I see the talent.
