About Meine Freundin Volker
Vivian Bernaise is the star of the Hamburg drag scene. After a glamorous performance in the Hamburg drag club "Die Donauwelle", she witnesses a mafia attack and has to flee. Vivian becomes Volker – and disguised as a straight man, she hides with the family of the elementary school teacher Katja in the rural areas of Schleswig-Holstein.
Directed by Piotr J. Lewandowski, Meine Freundin Volker leans on a strong ensemble — Axel Milberg, Kim Riedle, Bruno Thiel — 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 2022.
