Dying at GFT

25 – 31 July, 2025
GFT 12 Rose Street, G3 6RB
An epic and darkly funny symphony of family dysfunction, Dying follows the estranged members of the Lunies family as they wrestle with chaotic private lives. Son Tom (Lars Eidinger), a well-regarded conductor, is too preoccupied to give his ailing parents the attention they need. He’s juggling work – overseeing a new orchestral piece – and a confusing relationship with an ex who wants him to co-parent her newborn child. Meanwhile, daughter Ellen fumbles through life plagued by alcohol-induced blackouts and an affair with a married colleague. Winner of Best Screenplay at the Berlin Film Festival and Best Film at the German Film Awards, Dying is a brilliant and sharply comic portrayal of a family slowly unravelling as they contend with the chaos life brings.
