Harmony – friction. Staying together – separation. Rut. Life. A typical German family in a world that is always spinning fast and has begun to totter. Tim (Lars Eidinger), Milena (Nicolette Krebitz), their twins Frieda (Elke Biesendorfer) and Jon (Julius Gause) and Milena’s son Dio (Elyas Eldridge) – these are the Engels. A family that lives more side by side than together and that nothing holds them together when the housekeeper Farrah (Tala Al-Deen) enters their lives. The mysterious woman from Syria puts the Engels’ world to an unexpected test and brings to light feelings that have long been hidden. In doing so, she pursues a plan all of her own that will fundamentally change the lives of the Engels family.<\/p>\n

After seven years and four seasons with the TV series \u2018Babylon Berlin\u2019, writer and director Tom Tykwer has once again made a film for the big screen with THE LIGHT.<\/p>\n

Tom Tykwer on his film: \u2018After quite a long time, which I spent with \u201cBabylon Berlin\u201d in the roaring 20s, I can finally turn my attention back to our present. In THE LIGHT there are arguments, wrestling and fights, but there is also laughter, singing and dancing. The film aims to challenge the spectrum of emotions and the corresponding narrative possibilities. And the characters are very familiar to me. So I want to try to reflect their inner turmoil and at the same time their solidarity for the audience and make it tangible.\u2019<\/p>\n

DAS LICHT is produced by X Filme Creative Pool (producer: Uwe Schott) and will be released in German cinemas on 20 March 2025 by X Verleih and distributed by Warner Bros. Beta Film is responsible for world sales.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
