Köhler seems to me to be based on two films. I also liked his latest Das Freiwillige Jahr a few years ago. And I also thought this debut was very good.

Bungalow is a representation of Paul. A boy of about 19 who is in the army while that is not for him. But he himself doesn't know what it is for him. His life has been bogged down in something you could call depression. He expresses that by kicking around too modestly. For example, by simply not going back to the army. And by doing things and not doing anything more with the aim of feeling something again. Whether or not it will succeed in the end is left somewhat in the middle by the film. Although the fact that he makes an effort to evade military police is a good sign (at least that's what I saw, but the movie actually leaves it in the middle)

Fine film, very sensitive if you scratch away Paul's disinterested attitude a bit.
