Luisa from Buenos Aires and Fred from Brandenburg have a unique relationship in which they’ve created their own universe. At their wedding, the two lovers are increasingly confronted with their social roles and intercultural prejudices. In the maelstrom of the night, they lose their sovereignty and each other. The tradition of the kidnapping of the bride, still an integral part of many weddings in German-speaking countries, finally shatters the couple's equality. There is no room for love in this claustrophobic role play of marriage.
This German-Argentine filmmaker questions the structures of youth socialization. The Kidnapping of the Bride premiered at Sundance 2023 and she is currently developing her first feature, Marriage by Abduction.
