IN THE AISLES WITH MFG BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG

After her leading role in Maren Ade’s worldwide hit TONI ERDMANN, Sandra Hüller returns in Thomas Stuber’s latest feature IN THE AISLES, alongside European Shooting Star Franz Rogowski (VICTORIA) and Peter Kurth (BABYLON BERLIN) to form a top-class cast. The three actors play out Clemens Meyer’s story about three co-workers at a supermarket. Christian (Rogowski) is the new guy and in charge of stocking the shelves. Bruno (Kurth) is his colleague in the beverage section and acts as a father figure, taking him under his wing and teaching him all the tricks. Marion (Hüller) works in the next aisle and, although she is actually married (to a thug, no less), she takes a shine to Christian. Despite all odds, they offer each other support in life; a life which outside of the supermarket seems to be almost unbearable. But inside, it’s their own little world.

MFG Baden-Württemberg, together with Mitteldeutsche Medienförderung, BKM, Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, and the German Federal Film Fund supported the film produced by the Ludwigsburg-based Sommerhaus Filmproduktion, in cooperation with the broadcasters MDR, ARTE, SWR and HR, and co-produced with Departures Film and Rotor Film. The film was shot in part in Karlsruhe and took home two independent film prizes from the Berlinale: the German Film Guild Award and Ecumenical Jury Award.
