Anora

In the organizer's words:

It's summer, and the outdoor pool at Brauweg is hosting our annual open-air cinema: watch movies under the stars, and swim, bathe and picnic beforehand - outdoor pool AND cinema, every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, from July 3 to August 30. As always, you are welcome to bring your own blankets and picnic utensils, but drinks, snacks and popcorn will also be provided in the outdoor pool. You can sit on the large lawn, and there are chairs for those who find the ground too uncomfortable.

Admission is from 8pm (Saturday from 7.30pm), and if you buy your tickets in advance (online here via our website or at our box offices), you'll help us keep the queues short. The screenings start at dusk, the approximate starting times can be found in the program booklet and when booking tickets online here on this page.

The self-confident Anora, a young stripper from Brooklyn, meets Ivan, the son of a Russian oligarch, one day at work. A wild romance breaks out between the two. Because he wants to escape his impending deportation and she sees a chance to get out of her milieu, the two spontaneously marry in Las Vegas. However, when news of the wedding reaches Russia, their dream of a better future is in jeopardy: Ivan's parents immediately travel to New York to have the marriage annulled. But Anora is not prepared to give up so easily ... A wild odyssey through contrasting genres, between which life's outsiders discover their own personal silver lining.
