Virgil Widrich has the idea of completing the animated film of Oskar himself, but since there is no title and Oskar had never told how his story would continue, he does not know how.
On 2.2.2021 at 6:45 Virgil Widrich wakes up from a dream, which revealed to him that the film’s title would be “There is exactly enough time” – and from then on the further course of the story was clear before him in that very second.

Film

There is exactly enough time · 2021 Oskar Salomonowitz, the 12-year-old son of filmmakers Anja Salomonowitz and Virgil Widrich, had drawn 206 frames of a flip book when he died in an accident. Using the remaining blank sheets, his father continued drawing the film. Winner of 86 international film awards!
