Vielmachglas

Vielmachglas (2018) is a German comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Florian Ross and starring Jella Haase and Matthias Schweighöfer.

Marleen is in her early twenties — she works a cinema counter, shares a roof with her parents, and watches her overachieving brother check countries off a list while she stays put. A sudden tragedy tips her into grief and then into motion: she packs the bare minimum and leaves, destination unknown. The German title translates roughly to "a jar that can do many things" — the kind used for preserving summer fruit. It is a quiet clue about what the journey is for. Haase carries the film without making the sadness heavy, and the comedy lands because it earns it.
