She attains great success: in theatre, film and television. Everything that’s possible for an actress of her generation – Corinna Harfouch got it. Consequently embodying extremes of human being. Her staging is always a balancing act between abysses. Just with the shade of a gesticulation, she is able to give a surprise twist to destiny. By figuring melancholic, cursed by blind fate characters, she had gained a reputation as an outstanding actress.

But who is the personality behind this changeable and seemly unapproachable woman? Director Sabine Michel accompanied the actress for one year to capture an intimate and poetic portrait.

  • „Just in diesem Moment überraschen uns die aus dem Theaterbereich stammenden jungen Regisseure Hans Block und Moritz Riesewieck mit einem erstaunlichen Dokumentarfilm, der seit Monaten Publikum und Kritik auf den wichtigsten Festivals der Welt elektrisiert. Völlig zu Recht: Es ist, als würden einem die Scheuklappen weggerissen, als sähe man das, was sich seit Jahren direkt vor unseren Augen abspielt, zum ersten Mal unverschleiert... eine fesselnde ,Doku noir' mit höchstem Anspruch...Dieser Film müsste an allen Schulen gezeigt werden.“
