Zoe

G 1999, directed by Maren-Kea Freese, 79 min, no subtitles, rating: 12 

“Zoe comes and goes as she pleases.” Without a fixed place to stay, her sparse belongings stowed in a few plastic bags and a record collection under her arm, the 25-year-old wanders around town, deejays in small clubs and annoys old and new friends with her desire to be free. The film portrays an uncompromising young woman whose precarious existence reflects rough, makeshift Berlin at the turn of the millennium. 

Featuring: Kirsten Hartung, André Meyer, Eva Weißenborn, Wotan Wilke Möhring, Sólveig Arnarsdóttir, Rüdiger Rudolf, Volkmar Röhler
