Our feature film Luisa was one of two German productions invited to compete for the Golden Goblet Award in Shanghai.
This year, the Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF) is celebrating film art in a special way: together with the 130th anniversary of world cinema, the 120th anniversary of Chinese cinema will be celebrated. The 27th edition of SIFF will take place from June 13th to 22nd. Louisa is competing in the main competition this year as one of two German productions.
As the only A-festival in China, the Shanghai International Film Festival is considered an important festival for numerous filmmakers. The Golden Goblet Awards competition sections are divided into five categories: Main Competition, Asian Emerging Talent, Documentaries, Animated Films and Short Films. Every year, over 2,000 films from over 100 countries and regions are presented worldwide. The competitions show films of various genres, not only from big names, but also from young and talented but not yet internationally known artists.
The drama revolves around 24-year-old Luisa, who lives in a group home for people with disabilities along with seven roommates. She works in a laundry. It is unexpectedly discovered that Luisa is pregnant – her boyfriend Anton (Dennis Seidel) cannot be the father because he is infertile. The suspicion of sexual abuse is obvious. Luisa remains silent. The following investigations become a stress test for her, her boyfriend Anton and the entire staff of the residential facility.
