An evening full of poetry, melancholy, and quiet hope at Obenkino

With Do You Believe in Angels, Mr. Drowak?, a 127-minute film comes to Obenkino Cottbus on May 7, 2026, daring to approach the fractures of life closely. Nicolas Steiner tells a tragicomedy about loneliness, memory, and the delicate possibility of a new beginning – featuring Luna Wedler, Karl Markovics, and Lars Eidinger.

Between Harshness and Tenderness

At the center is Lena, a young woman with an unshakeable belief in the good. Opposite her is Hugo Drowak, a man who has settled into bitterness, withdrawal, and self-protection. From this tension grows a cinematic experience that relies less on loud effects and more on precise observation, nuances, glances, and the fine dramaturgy of alienation.

A Production that Exposes the Human

The production thrives on the juxtaposition of two worlds: here the hope for poetic transformation, there the weariness of a life that has lost itself. The result is a dense cinematic experience with a strong theater atmosphere, as every dialogue feels charged like a stage performance and every pause carries meaning. Exactly therein lies the strength of this tragicomedy: it trusts in acting, rhythm, and the power of careful direction.

Obenkino as a fitting place for refined storytelling cinema

Obenkino, located at Straße der Jugend 16 in Cottbus, provides the appropriate setting for this screening. The house is part of Glad-House, a socio-cultural center established in 1990 in the city of Cottbus, and is considered a place for film, culture, and exchange. For visitors, this means: short distances, urban cultural flair, and an evening fully focused on the impact of the film.

What makes this film special

Do You Believe in Angels, Mr. Drowak? combines poetic images with a story about vulnerability, dignity, and second chances. The epd Film classification describes the film as poetic, melancholic, and beautiful, with an overwhelming yet restrained flood of images. This very tension makes the work an ideal program point for cinema-goers who appreciate deep, character-driven storytelling.

Conclusion

Those who attend Obenkino on May 7, 2026, will not experience a loud spectacle, but a finely composed film conversation about hope and loss. This screening invites viewers to engage in profound emotions in a quiet form. Anyone seeking demanding contemporary cinema should experience this event live.
