Alle die Du bist

At the age of 24, single mother Nadine leaves her home in Brandenburg to take a job as a factory worker in the coal industry near Cologne. When she begins to perceive and love her impulsive colleague Paul in different guises, she finally manages to feel herself again. The two become a couple and a great love develops between them. Seven years later, Nadine can only see Paul in his "true" outer form, which seems increasingly alien to her. Her job is threatened by structural change in the coal industry, and although Paul is a devoted family man, her love for him begins to dissolve. She decides to fight it and tries to revive the roles she once saw in him.

Set against the backdrop of one of the largest open-cast mining areas in Europe, "Alle die Du bist" is a social-realist and, at the same time, magical love film. Aenne Schwarz and Carlo Ljubek vividly embody the couple at the centre of this passionate, playful plea for the loving gaze.
