She enjoys the Berlin summer with her best friend Rosa until a racially motivated attack suddenly tears her out of her carefree everyday life. Nico realises that she doesn\u2018t belong as self-evidently as she always thought. Plagued by flashbacks of the terrible attack, Nico withdraws more and more into herself.<\/p>\n<p>Not only Rosa loses touch with her, but also her patients fail to recognise the young woman. Nico feels that things cannot go on like this and turns to the gruff karate champion Andy. With him she begins a tough training programme which helps her to channel her anger and discover her own strength, but she also loses touch with herself. When Nico eventually meets Macedonian Ronny, a connection develops between the two women that causes Nico to question the path she has chosen.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]&#8221;<strong>Nico<\/strong>&#8221; is an important and moving film whose rousing leading actress lets the audience empathize with every moment of her painful healing process.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/LGXWwpGSUmc&#8221; title=&#8221;Nico | Teaser (mit englischen Untertiteln) | Darling Berlin&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]More information about the festival: <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/achtungberlin.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">achtung berlin Filmfestival<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The film &#8220;Nico&#8221; by director Eline Gehring will open the 17th achtung berlin film festival at Kino International on Tuesday, September 7th, 2021 at 8:00 p.m. &#8220;Nico&#8221; will also be shown in the feature film competition at the festival with ten other films.
