Description was written before the event

25 Jul. Karla, Germany 2025,
Dir.: Christina Tournatzés, feature film, 104 min

In 1962, a twelve-year-old girl runs away from her family and reports her father to the authorities for sexual abuse. An older judge takes the child under his wing and prepares her for the trial, even though he knows the chances of a conviction are slim. The girl shies away from the details of the abuse, but through a series of intense sessions the two gradually find a way to put the charges into words. Based on a real case, this sensitive drama shows how growing respect and compassion can give rise to closeness and mutual trust.

Recommended for ages 16 and up.
