I couldn't find any news about theater release, outside Germany, or television broadcast, or DVD or streaming...
This movie is an enigma for now.

But the actress has the right dress, let's hope for release...

Maybe a german user could help, has someone seen this movie ?
Is it a good target for Firstlovemovies community ?

According to IMDb this movie released last June. You'd think there would be a bluray, or at least a streaming webrip, out there by now. But ... nothing. Even if it bombed we should still be able to find it! One thing I will say: this girl has impeccable taste in skirts.

I'll keep looking but I am not encouraged. Perhaps Ghost could track this one down for us.

The young actress is Luisa Dirnberger. According to Crew United, her DOB was sometime in 2010. Currently 14 so her birthday falls late in the year.

It also says this movie filmed in 2023, meaning she was most likely 12 at the time.

I'm sorry, I can't find it anywhere. It doesn't seem to be out yet.

Looks like some sort of "semi-private hobby project..." (The cinema release for example seems to have been basically in the hometown of the director/writer/producer and a few other cinemas, so probably only happened because he knew the owners of these cinemas ...)

So probably only realistic chances would be, that he uploads the whole thing to YouTube himself one day, or maybe a local TV station picks it up when they get into some "have a look at our local film makers" mood...

But I found a Facebook page of the Cinema "Release".... It was classified "FSK18". I think, that's because it's the age-rating that movies get by default that don't have an official rating done. Before any "official" release that would probably have to happen.

It was an indie film, with a limited theatrical release, according to its official Instagram account.

It has an IMDb page, so it's more than just a weekend project shot by a hobbyist moviemaker using friends and neighborhood kids as cast. I assume the local press coverage and the limited screenings were intended to get the attention of potential distributors. Since the director isn't with a big studio, he had to get creative. Hopefully he will eventually either get a distribution deal or offer it direct through something like vimeo VOD. Making a film and then letting it vanish from existence is so pointless.

PREACH. SO damn true.

I’ve got some films/shortfilms literally only cause I asked the creators or distributors directly for it and otherwise it simply wasn’t available anywhere anymore. Sooo much stuff gets lost. It’s probably the heaviest with the shortfilm genre. I’d say the majority of Filmstudent shortfilms never get posted/released outside of their film school or some festivals.
