Frau Winkler verlässt das Haus
On 1 October 2026, “Frau Winkler verlässt das Haus” starts at German movie theaters. 2030: Mrs Winkler (Angela Winkler), a former actress, suddenly finds herself in need of intensive care following an accident. A care robot is supposed to look after her. Mrs Winkler feels humiliated and vehemently resists the robotic care. But then an unexpected friendship develops between the 80-year-old and the extremely ‘well-read’ robot.
Costume designer Sabine Keller has hired a wide variety of costumes from very different eras from us for this extraordinary production. This includes a cardigan from the 1970s for the film, which is set in 2030.
Director Doris Dörrie says in the film’s press kit: “I spent a long time thinking about “FRAU WINKLER” together with the wonderful Sabine Keller, who designed the costumes. In the process, we observed that, in the face of so many technical innovations, a longing for nostalgia arises – the desire to surround oneself with retro objects or to dress as if one were living in a different era.”
Starring, amongst others, Angela Winkler, Laura Tonke, Josef Ellers, Klara Lange, Yvonne Yung Hee Bormann and Zoë Baier; Production: Zeitsprung Pictures GmbH; Director: Doris Dörrie; Costume design: Sabine Keller
