Undine puts a new, mature spin on the classic mermaid myth. Working as an historian lecturing on Berlin’s urban development, Undine is distraught when the man she loves announces he’s leaving her. As she wrestles with the terms of the ancient myth, which call on her to kill the man who betrays her and return to the water, she meets someone new. But will she be able to overcome her fate and be with him? Award-winning director Christian Petzold delivers a love story that’s heartfelt and profound in its simplicity.
