An unconventionally kitsch-free and unsentimental
treatment of coping with grief. A whole year went by
before musician Juliane Hansen (Anna Schudt) was able to
put her running shoes back on — a year after her partner,
Johann König (Maximilian Brückner), took his own life.
Although her friend Rieke (Katharina Wackernagel) offers
all the support she can, Juliane feels lonely and
listless. Now, running and panting, she begins to confront
her thoughts, which constantly revolve around Johann, and
to allow new vitality to enter her life. Source |

social cohesion in Europe honours programme achievements
in radio, television and the Internet which promote
peaceful coexistence in the European immigration society.
The award ceremony of the CIVIS Media Prize 2022 will take
place on Friday, 3 June 2022, in Cologne and will be
broadcast directly via livestream. In the ARD-Mediathek,

Jury's remarks: "The film sticks closely to the authentic
minutes of a conversation about the organisation of a mass
murder. But this is much more than a window into the past.
The film, depressingly brought to life by great actors, is
a reminder of how far a dehumanized bureaucracy is capable
of going. At the same time, it is a warning of evolving
inhumanity in some right-wing discourse today." |

"Beautiful"
(Wunderschön), Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance: Always being
perfect, functioning, conforming to a role model - that's
something many people struggle with day after day. This is
also the case for Sonja (Karoline Herfurth), who, after
two pregnancies, no longer feels really comfortable in her
body and is unhappy about being reduced by her husband
Milan (Friedrich Mücke) only to the role of mother.
Meanwhile, Milan's mother Frauke (Martina Gedeck) despairs
of her husband Wolfi (Joachim Król), who has been
completely demotivated since his retirement. She doesn't
want to believe that the rest of her life should look so
uneventful and gray. Her daughter Julie (Emilia Schüle),
on the other hand, lives in her very own world, where she
wants to finally make her breakthrough as a model. But
this business is absolutely merciless. Teacher Vicky (Nora
Tschirner) is also merciless when it comes to men. Fun?
Yes! Relationship? No way. But then she meets her new
colleague Franz (Maximilian Brückner), who would like to
prove to her that relationships don't necessarily have to
end in a breakup. And then there's schoolgirl Leyla
(Dilara Aylin Ziem), who's tired of being an outsider and
finally wants to find the courage to follow her real
dreams....

In October 2021, the Munich Volkstheater has moved into
its new building in the Tumblingerstr. 29, and therefore
also the production of the play "Der Brandner Kaspar und
das ewig' Leben", starring Maximilian Brückner - so I
created a new page for it: "Der Brandner Kaspar und das ewig'
Leben" - Play, in the new theatre |
