Karoline Herfurth, who has helped shape many successful German films as an actress since 2000, has quickly found her own signature style in her directing career since 2016: Entertainment cinema - mostly with her own script collaboration - with the aim of showing real problems and everyday challenges from a female perspective, with pointed dialog, multi-layered characters and perfectly timed situation comedy. And always with the big audience in mind - Herfurth's films are not only among the most successful, but also among the best German productions of recent years.
In December, we are showing all the feature-length films that Karoline Herfurth has directed (and of course acted in)!

Karla, a radio presenter, is single. But the biological clock is ticking: she longs to start a family and, at almost 40, decides to fulfill her desire to have children herself. Now everyone is talking: parents, siblings, friends, neighbors. And: Karla meets the much younger Ole, who doesn't fit in at all with her plans for the future. Because he is the man of her dreams. And doesn't want children.
Romantic comedy, maternal drama and generational portrait: Karoline Herfurth deals with everyday problems that cause us to stumble, with life plans that we hope for and with the demands made on us by others in a tough, honest, loving and comedic way. "EINFACH MAL WAS SCHÖNES is neither "simple" nor "just beautiful" - and that's why it's Karoline Herfurth's second hit movie in just a few months after WUNDERSCHÖN."(filmstarts.de)
