Kulturkino Kaimt-"Marianengraben"

Paula (Luna Wedler) experiences a deep mourning phase after her little brother Tim drowned in the sea in Trieste. Plagued by feelings of guilt, her will to live seems extinguished. When she meets the grumpy old man Helmut (Edgar Selge), who wants to drive his ex-wife's urn to Italy, she finally sees a glimmer of hope: going to Trieste, to the beach where her brother died. Only there will she finally be able to feel close to him again. During the adventurous journey, an unexpected friendship develops with Helmut – and a new joy for life awakens. Based on the novel of the same name by bestselling author Jasmin Schreiber, director and screenwriter Eileen Byrne tells a moving story about death and staying alive in MARIANENGRABEN. In her remarkable feature film debut, Byrne brings together renowned German character actor Edgar Selge (POLL) and Swiss shooting star Luna Wedler (JE SUIS KARL) as an unlikely yet heartwarming duo in front of the camera.
