On a weekend trip to the countryside, young piano student Laura (Paula Beer – Undine, ZFF 2020; Red Sky, ZFF 2024) miraculously survives a car accident. She is rescued by Betty (Barbara Auer), a local witness, who invites her into her home and cares for her with near-maternal tenderness. Initially cautious and reserved, Betty’s husband and son gradually accept Laura as part of their family. But their fragile routine is soon disrupted by mysterious ghosts from the past. The latest film by award-winning German director Christian Petzold is an intriguing psychodrama that moves between nightmare and fairy tale, exploring trauma, memory, and myth. It premiered in the Directors’ Fortnight program at Cannes.

Christian Petzold (1960) is one of the most important contemporary German directors and a representative of the Berlin School of filmmaking, alongside Thomas Arslan and Angela Schanelec. His films Barbara (Silver Bear for Best Director, 2012), Phoenix (2014), and Transit (2018) place intimate stories of their protagonists against the dark periods of recent German history. Undine (ZFF 2020) is a modern adaptation of The Little Mermaid (Silver Bear for Best Actress), and Red Sky (ZFF 2023) won him the Grand Jury Prize at the Berlinale.
