Wunderschön

Five women in conflict with the traditional beauty ideals and gender roles of Western societies: Sonja, for example, feels unattractive after the birth of her second child and tries everything to look the way she did before - not least for her husband Milan, who is completely unaware of his wife's grueling hardships. Meanwhile, Sonja's commitment-shy friend Vicky has to deal with her colleague and suitor Franz, who tries to convince her of love and firmly maintains that equal partnerships are possible.   

Sonja's sister-in-law Julie conforms to common ideals, but it still doesn't seem to be enough for a career as a model in the fashion industry, which is sworn to perverted ideas of perfection. Meanwhile, the slightly over-weight student Leyla is convinced that her life would be much better if she looked like Julie. Julie's mother Frauke also struggles with her body: at almost 60 years old, she believes she is no longer desired by her husband Wolfi. He, in turn, feels useless as a pensioner and in another way no longer "desirable"...
