About Lost in the Living (2018) — A Berlin-set drama about music, family, and breaking point
In Robert Manson's intimate 2018 drama *Lost in the Living*, Irish musician Oisín (Tadgh Murphy) and his band arrive in Berlin for a series of gigs, lured by the city's legendary energy and promise of escape. Housed in a bustling hostel, Oisín discovers a hidden envelope of cash from his estranged father—a gesture that stirs up old wounds and simmers beneath his carefully maintained cool. As the night unfolds and the band takes the stage, the tension erupts in a raw, onstage outburst that exposes the quiet storm of betrayal and unresolved grief driving Oisín forward. With a raw, atmospheric lens, Manson crafts a story that pulses with the restless heartbeat of a city—and a soul—searching for meaning.

This is less a story about a band on tour and more about the echoes of family that trail every musician, no matter how far they travel.
