Beatrix

Maria Sigrist

Beatrix lives in her cousin’s apartment in Berlin, where she sleeps long into the day. Contrary to her lack of ambition in pursuing a professional career and her refusal of getting committed to a serious relationship, she really cares about her physical appearance and regularly visits an expensive beauty salon to get her hair done. But on this day, on the way to her hair appointment, some cheeky students in the subway push her out of her comfort zone and events take an unwanted turn for Beatrix.
