Marie Kreutzer : 2019
Der Boden unter den Füßen
Lola is almost thirty. A successful management consultant, she is constantly on the move between the companies she is tasked with restructuring. Her chic apartment in Vienna is more of a mailbox and a launderette than a home. A hundred working hours a week is not uncommon in addition to five sessions at the gym, expensive dinners with clients and nights spent in sterile hotels. Her career, which she is advancing with cleverness, efficiency and ruthless cunning, appears to be unstoppable. Lola applies a similarly disciplined approach when it comes to managing her private life. She keeps her relationship with her boss Elise secret, as well as the existence of her older sister Conny, who has been suffering from mental illness for a long time and who never leaves her apartment. But when Conny attempts suicide, Lola's secrets threaten to explode into the open. As she tries to do what's best for her sister without jeopardising all she's worked so hard for, Lola slowly finds her own grip on reality slipping away. Marie Kreutzer's feature premiered in competition at Berlin International Film Festival 2019.
