Alongside Alina Stiegler<\/strong>, who was awarded the Max Oph\u00fcls Prize 2023<\/strong> for “Best Newcomer<\/strong>“<\/em> for her role of Karo, renowned actors such as Barbara Phillipp<\/strong> as mother Michaela and Peter Lohmeyer<\/strong> as Jochen shine.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Summary<\/span><\/p>\n

Karo (28) is newly separated and struggling with the non-existent relationship with her father. When her mother Michaela (50) wants to take her on holiday to R\u00fcgen, Karo suspects another failed male story behind it. What starts as a spontaneous trip quickly turns out to be a journey into the past of two women who couldn’t be more different: Michaela wants distraction, Karo wants peace.\u00a0When they arrive at the hotel, they meet the newly divorced Jochen (60) and his teenage daughter Marie (16). For Michaela, Jochen is a holiday flirt and for Karo he could be the answer to all her questions and longings; Marie, on the other hand, is the mirror of a youth Karo never had. Mother and daughter quickly realise that the absent father has left a void that is bigger and more painful than they thought.<\/p>\n

Old wounds are torn open and both try to heal in their own way and free themselves from their fixed roles.

“Ever since I was born, I’ve been going on holiday with my mother. This over-all laughing, life-scarred woman and her late-pubescent, all-controlling daughter. Holidays with my mother are full of wit, shame, pain and love. They have shaped my life.\u00a0My generation was raised mostly by women. The absence of fathers and the mistrust between the sexes has shaped our mothers and us. With Karo, too, the absence of the father is always present. Mother and daughter have to prove to each other again and again how well they can compensate for this absence.\u00a0The complex bond that this creates still too rarely finds its way onto the screen, yet it is precisely this that has always accompanied and deeply moved me as a director and writer.”<\/em><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

“Sprich mit mir” is a belated coming of age drama. It is a film about the bumpy road to acceptance between mothers and daughters, if not a declaration of love for this unique relationship.<\/strong><\/p>\n
