For the first time, the German Film Academy and the Goethe-Institut are joining together to exhibit award-winning German films around the world. All films selected were winners or nominees for either the prestigious German Film Awards 2018 or the First Steps Awards 2017.
You are invited for a screening of 3 Days in Quiberon (2018) by German director Emily Atef. The movie is set in 1981 in Quiberon, a small village on the coast of Brittany. Hilde arrives to visit her old friend – world-famous star Romy Schneider – who has retreated to escape the daily pressures of her life. Despite her negative experiences with the German press Romy Schneider agrees to an interview with a reporter of the German magazine Stern. A cat-and-mouse game immediately ensues between the fragile diva and the ambitious journalist. The two embark on an emotional rollercoaster ride that fluctuates between tenderness and mutual manipulation while Hilde tries to protect her friend from the journalists’ attempts to capture for their audience the innermost feelings of this fascinating woman.
