Directed by Hello Herne , the main actresses Nora Tschirner play as Vicky and Karoline Herfurth as Sonja. This is already the fourth cooperation between the two talented actresses. The story not only illuminates the beauty madness, but also social expectations of women and toxic masculinity.

diverse characters and their challenges

The secondary characters bring a variety of topics into the film. Leyla (Dilara Aylin) emancipates himself from her previous life and Nadine develops motherly feelings for a sexually exploited young woman. A central aspect is the course on toxic masculinity that Enno visits and which is led by Trevor (Malick Bauer). In this context, Vicky also has to struggle with her own feelings because she feels drawn to Trevor.

The film addresses the search for freedom and the need to be heard instead of just pressing itself into a sexy pose. This becomes clear in the relationship between Sonja and her ex Milan, who go to family therapy to clarify their problems. Sonja has to process hurtful discoveries over Milan and think about what she really needs.

successful return to the cinema

In the opening credits, the film quotes a remarkable quote from the Bible that takes up the topics of desire and power in the relationship between men and women: "Your desire should be for your husband, and it should be your Lord" (1 Moses 3:16).

In summary, it can be said that Cinemaxx in "beautiful" not only deals with the challenges and striving for identity in a world characterized by beauty ideals, but also the depth psychological aspects of relationships. These topics are more relevant today than ever, and the discussion about sexism and gender roles, such as the Malisa Foundation in Germany, plays a central role in society.
