DIE ABENTEUER DER LAUSITZERIN WILMA (WT)

Fritzi Haberlandt (BABYLON BERLIN) plays the title role of a woman in her fifties who has spent her whole life in her home village in the Lusatian lignite mining region that is now suffering high unemployment. When her personal and professional life collapses, the shock drives her to Vienna. There she attempts to gain a foothold, finds new approaches, and old utopias of a better society are reawakened. She pursues these energies with renewed vigour – both privately and for the environment.

DIE ABENTEUER DER LAUSITZERIN WILMA is writer-director Maren Kea Freese’s first fiction feature film for almost 20 years after her previous two features, ZOE (1998/99) and WAS ICH VON IHR WEISS (2005/6).
