On 7 May, as a part of Week of European Film, citizens of Sarajevo will have the opportunity to see the German film ‘Barbara’, directed by Christian Petzold and starring Nina Hoss, Ronald Zehrfeld, Rainer Bock. The film was awarded with the Silver Bear at Berlinale 2012.
The film is set in summer, 1980. Barbara, a doctor, has applied for an exit visa from the GDR (East Germany). Now, as punishment, she has been transferred from Berlin to a small hospital out in the country, far from everything. Jörg, her lover from the West, is already planning her escape. Working as a pediatric surgeon under her new boss Andre, she is confused – does he have an assignment to keep track of her? Is he in love? But as the day of her planned escape quickly approaches, Barbara starts to lose control. Over herself, her plans, over love.
It will be shown in Meeting Point Cinema at 8 p.m. and the entrance is free for all.
