We're delighted to be a part of the 2026 FOKUS Films from Germany season and their programme revisits moments of German history through the lens of women's changing roles and experiences. Tickets for the 1997 drama A Left-Handed Woman (Die linkshändige Frau) are only £3 / £1.50.
In a suburb of Paris, Marianne a woman around thirty, surprises her husband Bruno with the spontaneous decision, that she wants to become separated in order to live alone together with their eight-year-old son. In the beginning Bruno raises no objections. His attempts to get closer to Marianne are not successful. She has given up her former lifestyle and her financial security und now begins to live her own life, marked by solitude and caution but firmly determined. In French and German with English subtitles.
