Days to Remember
Making her debut in television, Barbara Sukowa made a name for herself on the big screen in 1981 in films by Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Margarethe von Trotta – a director with whom she would work multiple times. In one strong woman role after another, her intense, visceral yet disciplined acting allowed her to portray complex and ambivalent characters, cementing her as one of the greatest actresses in German cinema.
Katharina, the daughter of Yugoslav parents who grew up in the Federal Republic of Germany, is a successful journalist. While filming a report in Yugoslavia, she meets Peter, a composer who is investigating his father’s Nazi past. Each of them is vulnerable and grappling with their past, but that doesn't stop them from getting to know one another and growing close.
