Goethe Kino: Trümmermädchen - Germany Year Zero | Directed by Oliver Kracht

Hunger, rubble, soldiers returning from war: young Charlotte is pregnant, but her beloved Ludwig doesn't want her or his child. In order to win him over and avoid the impending disgrace, she signs up for the "Fräuleinkurs" by the actress Gloria Deven who had been an aspiring star under the Nazis, but is now banned from working. But Gloria isn't interested in reviving the coquetry that had become unnecessary during the war. Instead, she awakens in her students a longing for something that has been denied them for too long: freedom.

Futur Drei

Directed by Faraz Shariat

In his powerful, semi-biographical debut, Faraz Shariat unfolds a tale of intense first love. With a precise grasp of social context, he offers a sensitive insight into the experience of migrants in Germany caught between feeling foreign, being excluded and obtaining the permanent right to stay, and shows how even subsequent generations are still in the process of arriving.

Nasim

Directed by Ole Jacobs and Arne Büttner

In Europe’s biggest refugee camp, Nasim fights for a self-determined life against her husband's resistance and her own fears. Then her high hopes seem to disappear in the ashes of burned down Moria.
