Comedy
A quiet, offbeat German dramedy about self-reinvention and the messy ways we try to escape ourselves. When a middle-aged woman decides to shed her old life and adopt the name “Harry,” her transformation unsettles family, friends, and lovers who can’t quite keep up. Blurring gender identity, midlife crisis, and dark humour, the film plays like a bittersweet character study — deadpan, gently absurd, and tinged with melancholy.
