Plot: Germany 1946: five girls learn from a former film diva not only how to become provocative seductresses, but above all how the sexual politics between men and women work. They deconstruct their biographies, including the roles expected from them, achieving subsequent and thorough emancipation.

Oliver Kracht shows this in some parts through wild and striking visuals, while in other parts he offers a realistic narrative about love and the longing for success. The intimate drama is carried by fantastic actors.

Wine and glühwein will be served.
