One in a Million

Director: Joya Thome
Year: 2022
Genre: Documentary
Length: 85 min.

On the one hand, an idolised social media star in the USA; on the other, a huge fan in Germany: this sensitive coming-of-age film captures the growth of two girls thousands of kilometres apart and allows us to share in their lives.

This film is part of the annual film series "Lots of Love"

New annual film series
Alles Liebe

The film series Alles Liebe aims to counter the bad news with a ray of hope, at least cinematically, and shows the most beautiful feeling in the world in very different facets - romantic love stories, unconventional forms of relationships, stories of care, friendship and loyalty.

Over a period of twelve months, the series lets us share love stories and shows how people find each other and stand up for each other across dividing lines.

Suggestions from our editors

Carl Ludwig Hübsch
A musical metamorphosis

First clarinet, then percussion and finally tuba - the musician and composer Carl Ludwig Hübsch is versatile. As part of his residency in Montreal, the German musician is planning a collaboration with the Canadian ensemble Productions SuperMusique (ESM).

Berlinale | Award Ceremony
A Celebration of Classic Narrative Cinema

The anniversary edition of the Berlinale was marked by challenging circumstances – but director Tricia Tuttle excelled in her role. This time, the focus was on the films rather than debates about the Israel-Gaza war. The Golden Bear was awarded to a Norwegian coming-of-age drama.

Their film “Drømmer“ (Dreams) won the Golden Bear. Director Dag Johan Haugerud and the actresses Selome Emnetu, Ella Øverbye, Ane Dahl Torp and Anne Marit Jacobsen Photo (detail): © Richard Hübner / Berlinale 2024 Photo (detail): © Richard Hübner / Berlinale 2025

Solidarity and universalism
Double Exposure

In today's individualized societies, there is a tension between solidarity and universalism. The challenge is to respect diversity and individual freedom without losing a sense of shared responsibility and belonging. Only this double exposure makes it possible for people to stand up for each other in solidarity and respect universal values despite their differences.
