In the organizer's words:

BEST OF ... KAROLINE HERFURTH

Cinéma Nostalgica - relive unforgotten movie gems on the big screen

German actress Karoline Herfurth enjoyed her first successes early on in films such as MÄDCHEN, MÄDCHEN and DAS PARFUM. However, it was her role as "Lisi Schnabelstedt" in "Fack ju Göhte" that finally won the hearts of viewers. However, the multi-talented actress is not only known in front of the camera, but also behind it as a director and voice actress. In her own films, she addresses all kinds of female challenges and issues of our time. We are dedicating a retro trilogy to Karoline Herfurth as part of our Nostalgica film series. Open the door for Best of Karoline Herfurth!

Information about the FIlm:

Almost all of us are familiar with emulating an ideal image. Mothers, daughters, men, old and young are in a permanent optimization frenzy. WUNDERSCHÖN tells their stories: There is FRAUKE (Martina Gedeck), who no longer finds herself desirable "just before 60", while her retired husband WOLFI (Joachim Król) doesn't know what to do with himself without a job. Their daughter JULIE (Emilia Schüle) wants to finally make her breakthrough as a model and is doggedly trying to press her body into the industry's ideal of beauty. This in turn is pursued by schoolgirl LEYLA (Dilara Aylin Ziem), who is convinced she can lead a better life with Julie's looks and can't relate to herself. Julie's sister-in-law SONJA (Karoline Herfurth) is also struggling with her body, which has become the expression of a life crisis after two pregnancies. Her husband MILAN (Friedrich Mücke) doesn't realize the pressure she is putting on herself as a young mother. This comes as no great surprise to Sonja's best friend VICKY (Nora Tschirner), who is convinced that women and men are not and never will be on an equal footing, at least not in love. However, her new colleague FRANZ (Maximilian Brückner) would like to convince her otherwise. WUNDERSCHÖN - a movie close to life, honest and hopeful. (Source: distributor)
