Pola Beck : 2012
Am Himmel der Tag
Lara can hardly believe it when the doctor tells her that she's pregnant. The 25-year-old ex-student spends her nights hanging around Berlin with best friend Nora, having lost interest in her architectural studies long ago. She has no idea what to do with her life – she does a lot, but nothing properly. She now finds herself pregnant after a night of passion with a charming barman she met at a party. Nora is thrilled by the news though, proclaiming: "we're having a baby!" After some initial doubts, Lara too begins to see her pregnancy as an opportunity. With the feeling that it's the first time she has made the right decision for herself, she throws herself into the adventure. Together with Nora, she sets about painting the nursery and goes in search of the baby's father. But the challenge will be a painful experience for Lara when the gynaecologist tells her, "Your child will not live". Pola Beck's debut feature won the Golden Eye award in competition at Zurich Film Festival 2012.
