Goodbye Postman

Stefan, Markus, and Dieter are among the last postmen of their kind – some have been doing the job for nearly half a century. At Kronberg’s delivery hub, they see how letters are getting smaller, parcels are getting bigger, and their familiar working world is gradually disappearing. Although scanners and efficiency targets now set the pace, they hold fast to their professional ethos: the route doesn’t end until the deliveries are all made. Because there are familiar faces at every drop-off point.

This rare glimpse behind closed doors takes us deep into the inner workings of Deutsche Post, and the three men become barometers of a society in upheaval. Showing warmth and humor, GOODBYE POSTMAN recounts the end of an era, with farewells and new beginnings, dignity and solidarity – and people who deliver far more than just the mail.
