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 will be showing all the feature-length films that Karoline Herfurth has directed (and of course acted in)!

Clara has been in mourning since the accidental death of her fiancé two years earlier. Her creativity as a children's book author is blocked and she is not ready for new relationships. She still sends thoughtful, longing text messages to the old cell phone number of her deceased lover. The number has now been reassigned to the journalist Mark. He has broken up with his long-term relationship because he is not ready for children - and is looking for the unknown text message author.
