Die Liebhaberinnen

Women as Lovers

Filmmaker and composer Koxi’s debut feature "Women as Lovers" centres on the trade fair hostess Brigitte (Johanna Wokalek), who sees her future fading away as she gets older, and 18-year-old Paula (Hannah Schiller), who in her youthful enthusiasm still has really big dreams ahead of her.

This dark tragicomedy based on the Nobel Prize winner Elfriede Jelinek's best-selling novel shows the calculating Brigitte making it right to the very top, while Paula is almost in danger of becoming a victim of reality. A film about the impossibility of female fulfillment and the value of love.
