Heidi M.
Heidi M. is in her late forties and has a small store in the pulsating center of Berlin. She goes out in the evenings with her friend Jacqui, but when she is unexpectedly confronted with romantic love, old wounds are opened. At first, she is hesitant to open up to a new man. But then she takes the chance to lead her life in a new direction ...
Heidi M. is an extraordinary portrait of a woman, with a mix of melodrama, social observation and road movie elements.
