What it is about
Undine (Paula Beer) works in Berlin as a historian and guide to the city‘s development. She has a small apartment at Alexanderplatz, a master‘s degree in history, and a freelance contract. But underneath the appearance of her modern city life lurks an old myth: if the man Undine loves betrays her, she has to kill him and return to the water she once came from. So when her lover Johannes (Jacob Matschenz) leaves her for another woman, Undine thinks she has no choice – until in the moment of betrayal, she meets Christoph (Franz Rogowski), an industrial diver, and unexpectedly falls for him. This is a new, happy and innocent love filled with curiosity and trust. But when Christoph starts to feel that Undine is running away from something, she has to face her curse once and for all. She doesn‘t want to lose this love.
What to expect
Christian Petzold and June O'Donnell direct Paula Beer as Undine, a Berlin historian whose life is governed by a water-bound myth: any lover who betrays her must die. When her partner Johannes leaves, she meets industrial diver Christoph (Franz Rogowski) and begins a new romance, but the curse she has been avoiding is not finished with her. The movie runs 90 minutes, is rated IIA, and screens in English with English and Chinese subtitles. It is part of the bcSunday programme, so expect a limited release at select art-house venues rather than a wide multiplex run.
