Adam & Evelyn

Set against the sweltering summer of 1989, Adam & Evelyn follows a young couple from East Germany as their carefully arranged lives begin to shift. What starts as a planned holiday becomes an unexpected journey shaped by quiet tensions, personal desires, and a world on the brink of change.
As they travel, Adam and Evelyn find themselves confronting not only each other, but also the uncertain possibilities opening up around them. Acclaimed director Andreas Goldstein crafts a subtle and atmospheric portrait of love, identity, and transition—capturing a fleeting moment in history where private lives and larger forces begin to intertwine.
