In cooperation with ZDF/Das kleine Fernsehspiel

Feature film - A, D 2025 - 115' - OmeU

Director: Elsa Kremser, Levin Peter

Two very different outsiders come together through their morbid preferences. Masha is a model and is particularly sought after in China due to her very light skin and hair, while Misha, who is fully tattooed, works in a morgue and paints disturbing pictures of bloody, mutilated bodies and open wounds in his spare time. But clichés about the beauty and the beast are not used in the feature film debut by Elsa Kremser and Levin Peter (SPACE DOGS). Winner of the Special Jury Prize and the Acting Award for the two leading actors at the Locarno Film Festival.

All about the power of images in film, pop culture, art and society. At FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE from October 9-16, 2025 and always online.

*Editorial Note: As the Rausgegangen team, we take a long-term view of the debate and criticism surrounding FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE. We take this debate very seriously. For us, the following is fundamentally clear: We reject any form of toxic behavior in the workplace and actively position ourselves against it. But what we do: We recommend content. We stand behind the filmmakers, the artists and the works. Regardless of politics, we want to recommend films and give you the opportunity to get to know the festival and its program. That's why you'll find the FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE content on our website.
