[PAST EVENT] “Der Vorname” at Botetourt on Wed, 7 pm
September 25, 2019
All day
What are the odds of naming your newborn child "Adolf" in present-day Germany? A fun comedy about two families at a crossroads during, what was meant to be, a cozy get-together but eventually gets pretty much out of hand. Come and join us watching “Der Vorname” with Christoph Maria Herbst (know from Germany’s version of “the office” – “Stromberg”) and Florian David Fitz (“Der geilste Tag”) and let us discuss what this film tells us about Germany and stereotypes that the movie touches upon.
