Rosamunde Pilcher: Amys Wunschkind

Sports photographer Amy Boyd's biological clock is ticking as she approaches the big 40. Nevertheless, her desire for a child is great, but she just can't get pregnant. She decides to go to a fertility clinic, but her partner Derek is not very enthusiastic about it. However, Amy is so desperate to have a child that she would go it alone. She is hoping for the support of her mother Libba, who also raised her alone. However, the death of her husband Jay almost 40 years ago still affects her, which is why she doesn't think much of Amy wanting to have a child from an unknown donor.

Directed by Marc Prill, Rosamunde Pilcher: Amys Wunschkind leans on a strong ensemble — Friederike Linke, Max Alberti, Karen Böhne — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 2023.
