Sonja Beißwenger

Asta Nielsen : pionnière du cinéma et première star européenne du cinéma, tragédienne et comédienne, écrivaine et artiste. Enfant d'ouvrier et mère célibataire, elle part du bas de l'échelle et se met sciemment en scène comme premier modèle pour les femmes indépendantes et les queers. Nous retraçons l'histoire de ce phénomène singulier avec ses propres mots et des extraits de films.

Happily married to Thomas, her daughter just off to college, Katja teaches math and music at the local elementary school. Her life seems perfect. Until a chance encounter turns her world upside down. The very weekend her family is away, she meets Daniel, an attractive, inquisitive fellow, backpacking through Germany. A travel journalist, just passing through, he camps out on her lawn. They connect. She finds his independent, freewheeling lifestyle fascinating. He tells her of his journeys. He makes her feel alive, reawakens her youthful hopes and dreams. Now old regrets come rushing back. After three exciting days, she is faced with the decision: does she go with him, or does she stay in her own, safe little world?

Four troubled friends who despite the feeling that they live standardized lives share a flat under the sceptical looks of their neighbours.
