“Engelchen” presents a sensitive portrait of a woman on the margins of society who longs for happiness in a relationship. When she meets a married Polish cigarette seller, a love story cautiously begins to unfold, but ultimately fails due to the couple’s differing life plans. The film captivates with its precise and poignant depiction of the social milieu, which is brought to life by Suanne Lothar’s brilliant performance as ‘Engelchen’.
The jury awards the INTERFILM Prize, which is endowed with 3,500 DM by the Protestant church districts along the Saar and the Förderverein Johanniskirche e.V.
