As part of the “German Language Weeks” Festival, organized by the Embassies of Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, as well as the Goethe-Institut Cyprus, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Sports, and Youth, the German Embassy, in collaboration with the Friends of Cinema Association, presents the comedy “Oh this unspeakable void,” directed by Simon Verhoeven.
The film tells the story of Joachim, who, at the age of 20, is unexpectedly accepted into one of Munich’s most renowned drama schools and moves into the imposing mansion of his eccentric grandparents, Inge and Hermann. Caught between the demands of his acting studies and his grandparents’ rituals—in which alcohol plays a central role— Joachim tries to find his place in the world—without yet knowing what role he is meant to play in it.
