Barbara Sukowa in Sclanders: a drama about xenophobia and hope

In the new drama "Screen", Barbara Sukowa shines in the role of politician Mathilda, a figure that embodies xenophobia and nationalism and lacks any humanity. The film by director Angelina Maccarone tells the urgent story of Malik, a Moroccan refugee who has illegally come to Germany. Malik is hidden in his lover Richard, who hopes to help him with Mathilda's political relationships. But the encounters between the characters reveal complex emotional situations and challenges that the audience stimulate to think.

"Screen" addresses the reality of migration and flight. Malik is particularly targeted by terrorist investigations after a bomb attack. Mathilda, which stands for a tough border policy, is faced with her own position and has to face her inner contradictions. The unequal relationship between Mathilda and her assistant Amina, who is ultimately only an alibi woman for Mathilda, illustrates the tensions between political action and human empathy. Mathilda begins to question her prejudices against Amina, a graduate of the Sorbonne.

variety of perspectives and character development

The film tells the story from the perspective of the four main characters, which enables a multi -layered narrative style. Maccarone does without simple black and white painting and illuminates the thoughts and secrets of the protagonists, which leads to a differentiated view of the situation. Richard shows unexpected facets of his character that stand out as a lust with the initial perception. Mathilda also reveals surprising pages that encourage the viewer to question their own thinking patterns. With a mixture of drama and psychological depth, "Scandestin" stimulates the complexity of the immigration society.

"Screenestin" will be broadcast on the first on Sunday, April 13, 2025, at 11:05 p.m. In addition, the film was awarded the Film Art Award at the Festival of German Film in Ludwigshafen. Through the characters and their interdependencies, the film shows in an urgent way how prejudices and fears are common in society and that not all suspicions are justified. This becomes particularly impressive in the development of Malik, Richard and Mathilda, which opens up new perspectives on the subject of migration and flight to the viewers.

social framework of migration

migration has many faces and is an integral part of human history. According to the UNHCR data, around 281 million people lived outside their country of birth in 2020, and around 117.3 million people were on the run. The main reasons for these migration -related challenges are varied, including war, persecution and economic emergencies. "Screen" reflects this reality by not only showing individual fates, but also responding to the complicated political framework that often act in the background.

The international community often sees itself confronted with the question of whether migration is a security problem or an opportunity for society. Escape and migration are often shaped by violence, both during escape and at the destination. A lack of laws and inadequate national policies create additional barriers that many migrants and refugees have to master. In this context, the film is an urgent comment on the social and political currents that currently determine the topic of migration.

"Science" not only offers captivating characters and outstanding acting achievements, but also a deeper examination of social issues that concern us all. The theatrical release on April 24, 2025 is eagerly awaited and should touch the audience in different ways and stimulate thought.
