Scheusal

Three decades ago, they performed as the pop quartet "Altmarkspatzen" and felt great in front of the spotlights of the television cameras that had just come into fashion. Now a surprising telegram brings the four sisters Carla, Christiane, Constanze and Corinna together again after a long time. They are called to their father's bedside. Memories are awakened, lifelines are traced and confessions are made. The four women are speechless in the face of lies, for which their mother is also fatally to blame.

Directed by Bodo Fürneisen, Scheusal leans on a strong ensemble — Christine Schorn, Jutta Wachowiak, Walfriede Schmitt — 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 1992.
