Break-Up
Break-Up is an independent German experimental feature film comedy directed by Alexander Tuschinski. It received awards at international film-festivals and had its German premiere at Berlin Independent Film Festival 2015. It is the second, most experimental instalment of Tuschinski's informal Trilogy of Rebellion - three very different feature films connected by the same thoughts and ideas, although each tells an independent story with new characters: Menschenliebe, Break-Up and Timeless.

Breakup
A relationship breakup, often referred to simply as a breakup, is the termination of an intimate relationship by any means other than death. The act is commonly termed "dumping [someone]" in slang when it is initiated by one partner. The term is less likely to be applied to a married couple, where a breakup is typically called a separation or divorce. When a couple engaged to be married breaks up, it is typically called a "broken engagement".
