This 2015 film with Katja Riemann is one of Margarethe von Trotta’s masterpieces, combining the past with the hearts of today.
Tom Beck plays the small role of Sophie’s (Katja Riemann) significant other. The role adds important ideas of priorities in life and relationships that could lead to an interesting discussion. Beck was recently in the Amazon Prime show You are Wanted.
There are big topics that can be discussed or ignored, depending on the class situation. For example: family situations/secrets, possibility of abortion, relationships, etc.
There are several scenes (perhaps a half of the film) in English due to the situation, which takes Sophie to New York. There are some emphasised light swear words in this time. There is a scene with sexual exploitation that unfortunately fits a certain reality. This is implicit and not explicitly inappropriate, and may be skipped easily in more conservative or sensitive settings.
