Director Johanna Moder on what was so attractive about this production: “The most important aspect for me was the narrative of a toxic relationship – and also making a film about the social pressure women are exposed to when, for example, they are single or without children and are actually in one Being forced into a relationship even though they would be happy in their single life.”
Julia Koschitz about “Judith”: “The exciting thing about the story is that Judith is not in a fragile situation in life, she is actually in a good point, is a contented single person – but of course still receptive to this enthusiasm and this undisguised infatuation from this man.”
Manuel Rubey on “Eternally Yours”: “It begins like a very beautiful love story, only when we are in love are we insane and not completely in control of our senses – I don’t want to give too much away, but there is the point where the story developed in a darker direction.”
