Screening of Paweł Pawlikowski's 2026 drama 'Fatherland', in German with English subtitles, at Plymouth Arts Cinema.
Fatherland opens at Plymouth Arts Cinema on Friday 6 November, running through to Thursday 12 November. It's a new film from Paweł Pawlikowski, the Polish director known for Ida and Cold War, and it's being presented by the cinema at Arts University Plymouth.
Set in 1949, the story follows Erika, who accompanies her father, the Nobel laureate author Thomas Mann, on a literary tour through West and East Germany. When family tragedy strikes, the film asks whether the spiritual healing Mann deems essential for a divided country is also what their own relationship needs. It's described as an impeccably shot and evocative drama that meditates on the process of healing a fractured national identity. The film runs 82 minutes and is a co-production between Italy and Poland.
On screen, Sandra Hüller leads the cast alongside Hanns Zischler and August Diehl. It's shown in German with English subtitles, so you'll be hearing the original performances. If you're familiar with Hüller's recent work, this is another one to see her in.
