Synopsis:
Nico is a feature film dealing with violence – with the indifferent violence women face in everyday life, with the targeted violence people face due to their ethnicity. Nico, brilliantly played by Sara Fazilat, has Iranian roots and Berliner bluntness. A highly appreciated geriatric nurse, she is well liked due to her constant good mood. Until the evening that she is beaten to a pulp by three young, racist Germans. From then on, her life is shattered. The film gets the viewer so close to Nico that one can palpably feel the psychological effects of violence, making the trauma almost physical. Sara Fazilat drags us with Nico through her fear, anger, or resignation; we experience the self-chosen isolation (as well as the truly rigorous karate training) Nico undergoes until she finally finds the strength for a new light-heartedness.
NICO ist ein Spielfilm, der sich mit Gewalt befasst - mit der gedankenlosen Gewalt gegen Frauen im Alltag, mit der gezielten Gewalt gegen Menschen, die wegen ihrer Herkunft angegriffen werden. Nico, großartig gespielt von Sara Fazilat, hat iranische Wurzeln und Berliner Schnauze, in ihrem Job als Altenpflegerin wird sie geschätzt, denn sie hat grundsätzlich gute Laune. Bis zu dem Abend, an dem sie von drei rassistischen jungen Deutschen ins Krankenhaus geprügelt wird. Von da ab ist ihr Leben kaputt. Man sieht, was Gewalt psychisch anrichtet, man spürt die Traumata fast körperlich, so nah lässt uns der Film an Nico heran. Sara Fazilat reißt uns mit sich durch Furcht, Wut oder Resignation, sie zeigt uns selbstgewählte Isolation oder ein richtig hartes Karate-Training, bis Nico schließlich die Kraft für eine neue Unbeschwertheit findet.
