    JOSE
    A film by Paasca

    I met Jose at Tempelhofer Feld in Berlin.

    What started as a chance meeting became a short documentary about community, skating, food, healing, and the strange magic of people finding each other in open spaces.

    Jose cooks for strangers, skates through the sunset, and speaks about Tempelhof as a place where people come to release what they are carrying and find something lighter.

    A Little Universe film about friendship, energy, movement, and the people who make a city feel alive.
