PATTY (WT)

Amidst the turbulent events of German reunification, Patty is made unemployed by the Wolfen Film Factory, loses her friend Jelena and disappears in the forest of the Kyffhäuser mountains. When she reappears barely aged some thirty years later in a nearby town at the foot of the mountain, Jelena follows her ghostly apparition into the historical landscape of an East German present.

PATTY (working title) is the debut fiction feature by Hochschule für Bildende Künste Hamburg (HFBK) graduate Luise Donschen whose documentary CASANOVA GENE (CASANOVAGEN) had its world premiere in the Berlinale’s Forum programme in 2018.
