🎬 Kick-off to “10 years of Darling Berlin”: “Julius Schultheiß Special” at the Lichtblick-Kino in Berlin

Synopsis

Lotte is direct and edgy, yet amiable and, above all, has a big-city snout. With all these qualities, she is constantly offending – her colleagues, friends and even her boyfriend. He throws her out without further ado, and Lotte is out on the street – from now on fully occupied with finding a place to stay. One night, Lotte meets Marcel, an almost forgotten acquaintance, in her favourite pub. As soon as he recognises her, Lotte flees and finds a place to stay in her friend Sabine’s flat. The next day, the stresses and strains of that night haunt Lotte and don’t seem to let her go, even while she is at work in the hospital. A young girl is admitted, Lotte looks after her and a subtle affection develops. But the joy is short-lived, because a little later Lotte witnesses an encounter between the young girl Greta and Marcel. The eyes of the three cross, and Lotte realises that this time there will be no escape for her.
