  • German Film Forum: Strangers at Home

    German Film Forum: Strangers at Homeexplores the fragile, complex nature of family through five bold German films. From bruied secrets to uncanny powers and andriod children, each story reveals how those closest to us can feel unfamiliar - and how outsiders can problematise, challenge, and ultimately illuminate the meaning of love, identity, and belonging within home.
