To be able to dedicate herself to her ballet career, Nadja left her son, Mario, to be raised by her mother and barely saw him for years. When she meets him again at a family gathering, an affection develops that goes far beyond maternal love…

About the movie

The films of director Isabelle Stever (DEUTSCHLAND 09, DAS WETTER IN GESCHLOS-SENEN RÄUMEN) are characterized by an unconventional narrative style, keenly observed interpersonal themes, and a sharp, critical perspective. GRAND JETÉ is a daring balancing act that sidesteps moral questions and confronts the viewer with a search for stability, identity, and a safe home. It touches upon these themes in a sensitive yet simultaneously radical manner.

The role of the protagonist, Nadja, is played by Sarah Grether, a former member of the internationally renowned Stuttgart Ballet, who received her dance training from John Neumeier, the Chief Choreographer at the Hamburg State Opera.

Newcomer Emil von Schönfels, who has previously collaborated with directors like Andreas Dresen and Tom Tykwer, portrays her son, Mario.

Seven winter in Tehran

Janam — Tue, 26 Sep 2023 13:21:00 +0000

Director: Steffi Niederzoll – Documentary, 97 min, color, Germany, France, 2023

Tehran, July 7, 2007: Reyhaneh Jabbari, 19, has a business meeting with a new customer. It’s a completely normal day, but one that will change her life forever. Because when the man tries to rape her, she stabs him in self-defense and flees. She was arrested the same day and charged with murder shortly afterwards. Despite much evidence pointing to self-defense, Reyhaneh has no chance in court because her rapist was a powerful and well-connected man who, even after his death, is protected by patriarchal society. Reyhaneh is sentenced to death. Her personal fight for justice begins.

Thanks to secretly recorded videos provided by Reyhaneh’s family, her testimonies, the letters Reyhaneh wrote in prison and other archives, the film traces the trial, imprisonment and fate of a young woman who became a symbol of resistance. Her fight for women’s rights reflects the fight of so many women, not just in Iran.

About the movie

»How do you overcome the feeling of your own powerlessness and resist? We follow the story of a young woman who resists institutionalized male violence and find a sensitive portrait of a family that is torn apart in the fight against an unjust regime. Using a variety of documentary materials, the film creates a compelling narrative arc.

This film is painful and disturbing. At the same time, the encounter with the young protagonist Reyhaneh is inspiring and leaves us with a spark of hope.«
