SOLDAT AHMET
Austria 2021 – Director: Jannis Lenz – Original with English subtitles – Length: 76 min.
As a child, Ahmet wanted to be an actor. Joining the Austrian army offered more security. He boxes, is disciplined and in great shape but now he is playing Stanley in “A Streetcar Named Desire” and must learn to show feelings. A complex search for identity and at the same time a wonderfully musical play on stereotypes and role models. Ysabel Fantou
We present the German premiere of the film.
