Someday We’ll Tell Each Other Everything

In the summer of 1990, it is hot in the countryside of Thuringia where dreamy teenager Maria (rising star Marlene Burow, also starring in this year’s In A Land That No Longer Exists) is about to turn 19. She lives with her boyfriend Johannes in the attic on his parents’ farm and would rather lose herself in books than focus on school. 

There is a sense of a new era dawning with the German reunification and the future seems visible, with Maria spending her days roaming the fields and reading Dostoevsky, until one day she encounters Henner (Felix Kramer), the farmer next door. 

A charismatic man twice her age, Maria is drawn to him like fate and with a single touch, an all-consuming desire ignites. In an atmosphere buzzing with possibilities a secret passion full of longing and desire emerges that devours everything in its path. 

A raw and sensual adaptation of Daniela Krien’s 2011 novel, Emily Atef’s (Killing Eve, 3 Days in Quiberon) sultry drama Someday We’ll Tell Each Other Everything delivers a surprising dose of German romanticism.
