Director Christian Petzold (Transit, Phoenix) relocates the mythological story of the undine, a water nymph prone to mood swings with a tendency towards challenging relationships, to Berlin, and Paula Beer plays her as a stylish and elegant historian who lectures on the city’s architectural history at the Berlin City Models exhibition. But she is also conducting an unhappy adulterous affair with Johannes (Jacob Matschenz), which as the film opens is reaching its unhappy end — revealing a flash of something angry and even violent in Undine. As her connection to Johannes falls apart, Undine must ask herself: is she a prisoner to her own bloody, tragic destiny? Or is there something she can do to break free? German w. English subtitles
