NC16 / German, French / Drama / 115 min
Hilde Fritsch (Birgit Minichmayr) arrives to visit her old friend – world-famous star Romy Schneider (Marie Bäumer) – who has retreated to a spa hotel to escape the daily pressures of her life. Together, they appear like two regular women who are just happy to be reunited. Yet it quickly becomes apparent that Hilde is expected to offer the support the sensitive actress needs to be able to truly face her own demons. After journalist Michael Jürgs (Robert Gwisdek) and photographer Robert Lebeck (Charly Hübner) arrive to conduct an interview for the famous German magazine Stern, a cat-and-mouse game ensues. Hilde attempts to guard her fragile friend, while the journalists try to capture the innermost feelings of this fascinating woman for their audience. By the end of these three days – spent in the French village of Quiberon, on the coast of Brittany – will Romy find the inner strength to get what she desperately wants: to start over? The screening at the Alliance Française is presented in partnership with the French Film Festival.
