Hidden Depths Unveiled: Tragicomic Play 'Family Ain't' Exposed - Behind the tough exterior: the tragicomic play titled "Family is Nothing"
Anne (Meret Becker), a quirky loner, dwells in her secluded farm in Brandenburg. She's known for her unconventional methods, like scaring off the mailman with a shotgun, driving her black plow horse to the pharmacy, and ousting the new pastor.
But her solitary life takes a turn when a friend of Julia (Emma Bading), her estranged daughter, drops off Julia's eight-year-old daughter Tilda (Luise Landau). Julia's in prison, and Anne, though she'd prefer otherwise, reluctantly accepts Tilda. To Anne's surprise, Tilda matches her in stubbornness. This is the tale of the tragicomedy "Blood Ties Unbroken", premiering on ZDF this Monday (2nd June) at 8:15 PM.
Initially, Tilda attempts to run away, but Anne eventually warms up to her posse. As grandmother and granddaughter grow closer, sharing a bed and working together on the farm, Anne starts to reconnect with her community. The story unfolds the strained relationship with Julia, revealing her past and showcasing the family bond.
The social worker plays a pivotal role in bringing everyone together. Tensions rise as Anne softens towards her suitor Holger (Florian Lukas), who's been smitten for quite some time.
Director Nana Neul (51, "Check Out") sensitively portrays three generations of resilient women, each with their unique struggles, pride, and coming-together moments. The story delves into love, loss, and the vulnerability lurking beneath the rough exterior of the main characters.
Meret Becker (56, "Tatort", "Das Signal") enacts Anne, a hardened loner, Florian Lukas (52, "Rosenthal", "Die Wespe") portrays Holger, a persistent yet gentle man, yearning for connection. Luise Landau (11, "Bonhoeffer") shines as Tilda, a feisty girl who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to fight for it.
