Wunderschön(KINO/22)

Five women in conflict with the traditional beauty ideals and gender roles of Western societies: There is Sonja, for example, who feels unattractive after the birth of her second child and tries everything to look the way she did before - not least to her husband Milan, who is completely unaware of his wife's grueling hardships. Meanwhile, Sonja's commitment-shy friend Vicky has to contend with her colleague and suitor Franz, who tries to convince her of love and firmly maintains that equal partnerships are possible.

Sonja's sister-in-law Julie conforms to common ideals, but it still doesn't seem to be enough for a career as a model in the fashion industry, which is sworn to perverted ideas of perfection. Meanwhile, the somewhat stronger student Leyla is convinced that her life would be much better if she looked like Julie. Julie's mother Frauke also struggles with her body: at almost 60 years old, she believes she is no longer desired by her husband Wolfi. He, in turn, feels useless as a pensioner and in another way no longer "desirable"...
