Die Freiheit einer Frau: nach dem Buch von Édouard Louis

In the organizer's words:

The story of a liberation from circumstances into which one was born - with Eva Mattes in the role of Monique Bellegueule

Édouard Louis tells the haunting story of his mother Monique Bellegueule (played by Eva Mattes), who grew up in precarious circumstances without professional training and was trapped in marriages with violent and alcoholic men. Until one day she has had enough and leaves her second husband, the village and her old life behind. Louis sensitively and movingly traces her life story up to the present day, while at the same time reflecting on his emotionally distant relationship with his mother from his earliest childhood. However, it is not only his mother who undergoes a metamorphosis, but also he himself, as he gradually draws closer to her again.
