About this event
Dir Paweł Pawlikowski/PL DE IT FR 2026/82 mins/German, English, French wEng ST Sandra Hüller, Hanns Zischler, August Diehl In 1949, Erika (a superb Sandra Hüller) is accompanying her father, Nobel laureate author Thomas Mann, on a literary tour through West and East Germany. As family tragedy strikes, it becomes apparent that the spiritual healing Mann deems essential for the divided country may be necessary for their own relationship. In a masterclass of control and precision, Paweł Pawlikowski explores the fragmented soul of postwar Germany through a father-daughter road trip dominated by personal ghosts.
