Paternal Leave

A film by Alissa Jung. In German, English and Italian with German subtitles.

[Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

Fifteen-year-old Leo has grown up in Germany wit­hout a father. When she dis­co­vers his iden­ti­ty, she imme­dia­te­ly sets out to track him down. She finds Paolo in a board­ed-up beach bar on the win­try coast of nor­t­hern Italy. The reuni­on lea­ves Paolo over­whel­med and con­flic­ted. After Leo’s sud­den appearance in his life, he strug­gles to balan­ce his rela­ti­onship bet­ween her and the fami­ly he has now. At first, Leo just wants ans­wers. But soon, she starts to long for a place in Paolo’s life. With no money nor plans, she stays on in the small town. As they spend more time tog­e­ther, Leo and Paolo ten­ta­tively begin to bond and dis­co­ver they have much in com­mon. But rea­li­ty ine­vi­ta­b­ly cat­ches up with them. When Paolo prio­ri­ti­ses his youn­ger daugh­ter over Leo again, the lat­ter is left hurt and angry. A con­fron­ta­ti­on lays bare their pain, appar­ent­ly shat­te­ring their fra­gi­le con­nec­tion. But, amid the turm­oil, father and daugh­ter begin to ack­now­ledge their respec­ti­ve truths and take a small but meaningful step towards acceptance.

    Ángela, a deaf woman, and Héctor, her hea­ring part­ner, are expec­ting a child. They are exci­ted about the pregnan­cy, alt­hough they do not yet know whe­ther the baby will be deaf or hea­ring. Despite both clai­ming they can hand­le wha­te­ver comes, their under­ly­ing con­cerns are evi­dent. After a com­pli­ca­ted and emo­tio­nal­ly inten­se labour, Ángela gives birth to their daugh­ter, but the pair will have to wait a cou­ple of months to learn if the baby is hea­ring or not. During this time, Héctor strug­gles to ful­ly grasp the chal­lenges Ángela is facing, while she must come to terms with rai­sing a daugh­ter who may not share her expe­ri­ence of the world. This jour­ney forces both of them to ques­ti­on their roles as part­ners and par­ents, as Ángela grapp­les with her iden­ti­ty in a socie­ty that does not ful­ly accept or under­stand her.

    Herzklopfen

    Ein Film von Martin Zawadzki. DE 2002 90 Min. So. 6.12.15:00 mit anschlie­ßen­der Diskussion.

    Dokumentarfilm über zwei Menschen, die auf der Herzempfängerliste des Klinikums Bad Oeynhausen ste­hen und gemein­sam mit ihren Angehörigen auf ein geeig­ne­tes Spenderherz war­ten. Dabei wer­den nicht nur das Umfeld und die per­sön­li­chen Hoffnungen beleuch­tet, son­dern es wird auch die schwie­ri­ge Frage nach den Spendern the­ma­ti­siert, deren Tod das Weiterleben der Wartenden erst ermög­licht. Auf einer ande­ren Ebene behan­delt der viel­schich­ti­ge Film die Frage, ob das Spenderherz das Wesen eines Menschen beein­flusst und verändert.

    Sentimental Value

    A film by Joachim Trier. In Norwegian with German subtitles.

    [Credits] [Tickets & Termine] [Trailer]

    Winner of the Grand Prix at this year’s Cannes Festival, the spraw­ling inter­ge­ne­ra­tio­nal dra­ma AFFEKSJONSVERDI sees wri­ter-direc­tor Joachim Trier team­ing up once more with Renate Reinsve, the brea­kout star of his cele­bra­ted exis­ten­ti­al rom-com VERDENS VERSTE MENNESKE (2021). Reinsve plays Nora, a gifted stage and tele­vi­si­on actress we first see having an uproa­rious back­stage break­down befo­re her ope­ning night per­for­mance of Chekhov’s The Seagull. When her estran­ged father, Gustav (Stellan Skarsgård), reap­pears, he offers her a part in film he’s writ­ten about his mother, who was tor­tu­red by Nazis and died by sui­ci­de. Nora refu­ses, lea­ding Gustav to cast a Hollywood actress (Elle Fanning) in her stead. By tur­ning their Oslo fami­ly home into his own film set, Gustav upen­ds not just Nora’s life but that of her more well-adjus­ted sis­ter (Inga Lilleaas), a for­mer child actor who star­red in one of Gustav’s ear­ly films. Brimming with fami­li­al resent­ments and artis­tic anxie­ties yet distin­gu­is­hed by an awk­ward, under­sta­ted sen­se of humour, AFFEKSJONSVERDI is an absor­bing ensem­ble pie­ce about explo­ita­ti­on, memo­ry and legacy—and the power of artis­tic crea­ti­on to both heal past wounds and defer hard truths.
