Writer-director Henrika Kull has joined forces with the Berlin-based production company Flare Film and DoP Carolina Steinbrecher for her second feature following the award-winning debut JIBRIL which premiered at the Berlinale in 2018.
Set in a world where their femininity is a commodity, GLÜCK centers on two sex workers who fall passionately in love with each other. They experience – with one another and also separately – that moment when happiness might seem possible. In the end, they need to overcome different perceptions of life and their own darkest depths to achieve their personal bliss.
The lead roles are taken by Katharina Behrens, whose recent credits include Michael Venus’ SLEEP, and Adam Fresna, the subject of the documentary SEARCHING EVA as Eva Collé.
