PRÉLUDE

This year’s Berlinale Shooting Star Louis Hofmann (LAND OF MINE) has been cast in Sabrina Sarabi’s debut feature PRÉLUDE as a young piano student who enthusiastically rushes into the world of music and his first true love, but increasingly loses control over his life as he succumbs to growing pressures and self-doubt.

The portrait of an individualized generation by the graduate of Cologne’s Academy of Media Arts (KHM) features such up-and-coming talents as Liv Lisa Fries (one of the leads in the BABYLON BERLIN TV series), Johannes Nussbaum (RADEGUND) and Saskia Rosendahl (WORK WITHOUT AUTHOR) alongside Ursina Lardi (THE WHITE RIBBON) and Jenny Schily (SLEEPING SICKNESS).
