Wunderschöner

In the organizer's words:

Nadine does everything she can to stay young, firm and attractive even at 50. But when her husband Philipp turns to a prostitute, she is plunged into a deep life crisis. Meanwhile, her daughter Lilly is preoccupied with her teacher Vicky's lectures on the invisibility of women in history and wonders whether she can even say what she doesn't want to - to her boyfriend Enno, for example...

WUNDERSCHÖNER is the sequel to the episodic dramatic comedy WUNDERSCHÖN by director Karoline Herfurth and follows many of the characters from the first part as they continue to find themselves. The focus is on five women who no longer want to base their lives and their self-worth on being desirable. The main thing is sexy - no matter whether thin, fat, what skin color, young, old, we can all be sexy in different ways. Almost every woman grows up having to work on herself in order to remain desirable. Why? What if we stopped pushing ourselves into a sexy pose with all our might? What if we no longer fought for the right to be sexy, but were truly free? What if we stopped investing all our time and energy in being heard and the world started to hear us?

Press reviews:

"The sequel not only delves deeper into the subject matter of its predecessor, but ventures even more consistently into painful areas - only to simultaneously flashes of hope and solidarity in unexpected moments. More crying, just as much laughter - and a (women's) power moment taken straight from the headlines in the baseball stadium at the finale, which leaves the movie theater full of strength and optimism despite all the previous downfalls." (filmstarts.de)

"For the sequel to her episodic comedy, Herfurth also takes on the triple job of screenwriting, directing and starring. It's a pleasant surprise that this time she dispenses with out-of-place slapstick interludes and instead strikes a much more serious tone. [...] Less over-the-top and more emotional than ever: Herfurth knows how to top a hit." (Cinema)
