Women as lovers (Liebhaberinnen)
A hostess becomes obsessed with a young cam girl she discovers online. As one compulsively reinvents herself and the other takes drastic measures to escape her condition, an unexpected bond forms between them.
These two parallel lives start to reveal the limits of a system where self-image takes precedence over freedom, where optimization hides exploitation, and where fulfillment is endlessly postponed. A contemporary adaptation of the eponymous novel published in 1975 by Nobel Prize winner Elfried Jelink, Women as Lovers is an acerbic tragicomedy driven by the striking performance of Johanna Wokalek, examining the unbearable condition of women in the era of late capitalism.
