We are happy to invite you to the next installment of the ArtHouse Cinema program on Tuesday, July 11, 2017. This time we will screen the film called Ein Geschenk der Götter (A Godsend) directed by Oliver Haffner.
Anna, an actress, unexpectedly loses her job at a small German town theatre. She can't expect much help from the local employment agency – but as it so happens, there is an administrator at the agency who, while not very militant, is enthusiastic about theatre. Anna takes on the job of teaching drama to eight long-term unemployed people. Initially, none of them are particularly enthusiastic about it, nor are they exalted about the drama “Antigone”, which Anna wants to rehearse with them. But then the skeptical and difficult individuals manage to draw together and form a collective after all, giving all of them renewed hope. Ein Geschenk der Götter is a tragicomedy, where the stage is the setting for a collective restoration of the self-respect lost by each of the individuals.
