“Grief “is a deeply moving short film directed by the German filmmaker Daniel Lang, which is adapted from Anton Chekhof’s short story, “Misery.” On a rainy and gloomy night, a battered taxi drifts through the streets of Berlin. Iona, a Russian immigrant, is behind the wheel. His son had supported the family by driving the taxi until his sudden, unexpected death the previous week. Now Iona has taken his son’s place, trying hard to make his way as a blundering taxi driver. But what he really wants is to find someone, anyone to talk to about his son’s death.

This piece includes a number of high-resolution color photographs, as well as the thoughtfully engrossing short film.
