The Beloved Sisters
Director: Dominik Graf
Writer: Dominik Graf
Producer: Uschi Reich
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Henriette Confurius, Florian Stetter, Hannah Herzsprung, Ronald Zehrfeld
A member of what’s known as the Berlin school of filmmakers (including Christian Petzold and Christoph Hochhausler), Graf has worked almost exclusively in television and he contributed to the 2011 triptych Beats Being Dead.

Charlotte von Lengefeld, her shy sister, dreams of finding a husband. The two are a heart and soul, until He enters their lives: Friedrich Schiller, the man who wrote “The Robbers”, an overnight sensation, the espouser of proto-revolutionary republican ideals.
