Undine works as a historian lecturing on Berlin’s urban development. But when the man she loves leaves her, the ancient myth catches up with her. According to the legend, the water spirit Undine is bound by a fatal curse: if her lover betrays her, she must kill him and return to the water. When she meets Christoph, an industrial diver, the two form an unexpected and intense bond — but fate may not be so easily defied. Christian Petzold’s (Barbara, Transit) spellbinding modern fairy tale stars Paula Beer, who won the Silver Bear for Best Actress at the 2020 Berlin International Film Festival, and Franz Rogowski, in a quietly enchanting romance that weaves together myth, memory, and the layered history of Berlin itself.
