Almuth und Rita

Directed by Nikolai Müllerschön

With Senta Berger, Cornelia Froboess, Wolfram Berger, Patricia Aulitzky and Lisa Kreuzer

Retired dentist Almuth Seegers sells her practice at 65 and feels lost and emotionally distant, even from her mother in a nursing home. Her newly hired cleaning lady, Rita Ritter, a vivacious East German with a terrier, disrupts Almuth’s isolation. As their worlds collide, Almuth’s rigid reserve meets Rita’s warmth, sparking an unlikely friendship that challenges Almuth to confront her long-suppressed emotions.
