In Düsseldorf, Germany, a young man heads to his office job by tram, but he drops off to sleep on the way. This is the start of an incredible dream: the man realises he is no longer on the bus, but on a cable car that is taking him up a mountain. Once he gets off, he heads to the peak without asking too many questions. When he reaches the top, he opens his bag and discovers a paraglider canopy in the place of his laptop. He decides to open the canopy and jump from the top...

Kerim Jaspersen

Born in El Salvador in 1974, Kerim Jasperson and his family moved to the United States in 1980 and then to Germany. In 1998 he discovered his love for paragliding. In 2005, he started to film himself and his friends during their flights; this led to the idea for his first short, Rush Hour Dream, which won the Icare de la Critique award at the International Flight Film Festival in St. Hilaire.

Christian Menn

Born in Germany, Christian Menn worked for a number of years as a cameraman for television productions and web films. Rush Hour Dream is his first short as director.
