Zoe

A young woman makes a living as a disc jockey in Berlin without having a permanent home or real friends. She accidentally discovers that her mother has died and sets out on a search for clues, which also leads her to her penniless father.

Directed by Maren-Kea Freese, Zoe leans on a strong ensemble — Kirsten Hartung, André Meyer, Eva Weißenborn — 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 drama titles of 2000.
