Filmmaker and composer Koxi’s debut feature WOMEN AS LOVERS centres on the trade fair hostess Brigitte (Johanna Wokalek), who sees her future fading away as she gets older, and 18-year-old Paula (Hannah Schiller), who in her youthful enthusiasm still has really big dreams ahead of her.
This dark tragicomedy based on the Nobel Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek’s best-selling novel shows the calculating Brigitte making it right to the very top, while Paula is almost in danger of becoming a victim of reality.
A film about the impossibility of female fulfillment and the value of love.
