This film was shown here in connection with the German Film Days last year. It was premieerd at the Berlin Festival, so there is enough reason to be interested in it.
Julius Schultheiß financed it independently through crowd funding, so enough people must have believed in the potentialities of this plot.So did main actress Karin Hanczewski who agreed to be paid from the revenue of the film.
Lotte is about a woman in her thirties. She is living on the fast lane. She is fun-loving, but also shunning responsibility. This contrasts with her job as nurse. At work she meets one day a young woman and she realizes slowly that Greta is her daughter. This time it will not be possible to run away, especially since Greta wants contact with her mother. At the end we also get some sort of explanation why Lotte has been on the run most of her life.
Lotte is a very different woman, rejecting the role women are traditionally assigned. There is something refreshing about this portrait.
7/10
