KINO: In die Sonne schauen

The big winner at the 2026 German Film Awards—a total of 10 Lolas!

LOOKING TOWARD THE SUN tells the story of four women from different eras—Alma (1910s), Erika (1940s), Angelika (1980s), and Nelly (2020s)—whose lives are eerily intertwined. Each of them spends her childhood or youth on a farm in the Altmark region, but as they navigate their own present, traces of the past are revealed to them—unspoken fears, repressed traumas, buried secrets.

Director Mascha Schilinski has created a grand, epoch-making film—a grand tour through the finest intricacies of these four women’s emotional worlds.

Winner in ten categories at the 2026 German Film Awards—including Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Film!
