Berlin-based Films Boutique has acquired “Talking About The Weather,” Annika Pinske’s contemporary debut film which will have its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival in the Panorama section.
The movie follows Clara, who has left her native East Germany and is living a bohemian life in Berlin, teaching philosophy while finishing her PhD. Between an affair with one of her students and her testy friendship with thesis advisor Margot, she barely has time to see her 15-year-old daughter, who mostly lives with her ex. But when Clara visits her mother for a weekend, she finds herself confronted with her ideal of an unfettered, self-determined life.
Pinske previously worked as creative assistant to German filmmaker Maren Ade (“Toni Erdmann”), as well as theater director René Pollesch. “Talking About The Weather” is Pinske’s graduation film from the German Film and Television Academy (Dffb).
The movie stars “Toni Erdmann” actor Sandra Hüller,...
