Frances Ha
Playful, bittersweet comedy about 27-year-old Frances, a dancer who just won't really grow up and finds herself stumbling through life.
Frances lives with her best friend Sophie in New York. It’s been a while since she graduated, but a fully functioning professional life still seems like a distant dream. Although her quest for a job is a lengthy series of disappointments, Frances is fairly content with her life. Unexpectedly, Sophie moves into her dream flat in Tribeca with another girlfriend and Frances suddenly finds herself out on the street. Now she not only has to find a new place to live but also a new place in the world. Frances’ life is far removed from that of her dreams but her love of life remains indefatigable and she is happy to drift from one odd abode to the next. (source: www.berlinale.de, adapted)
