Die Unsichtbare

Summary

Cracks in the Shell

"You’re invisible!" Can there be a worse judgment for an actress? Young Josephine definitely lacks self-confidence, but when renowned director Kaspar Friedmann appears at the acting school and casts her for her first main role, nobody understands his motivation, least of all Josephine herself. The character to play is "Camille", quite different to herself, but Josephine wants to come as close as possible. As Camille, she awakens to her femininity, but loses her own strengths in dealing with her everyday life because Camille is not only self-conscious and sexually hyperactive, but at the same time also fragile and self-destructive. Josephine puts herself into the hands of a director, who sends her on
an emotional roller coaster ride. A dangerous game is set off, bound to turn Josephine into her own worst enemy …

After her award-winning star turn in Susanne Bier′s Oscar®-nominated "After the Wedding" (2006), Stine Fischer Christensen delivers a sublte yet full-blooded performance as a young woman on the path to self-discovery and, perhaps, self-destruction... Director Christian Schwochow follows up his award-winning "November Child" (2008) with the powerful and gripping journey of ambition and abuse.
